Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a reaper? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a reaper.
The queen can pick you off your drake saddle for impregnation if you get off and get back on
Once you have knocked her down to near death turn ur light pet off for her to stab u with her tail..... Tbh who really likes having a route with the lights on?
If your plan is to build a huge army of Reaper Kings, build an outpost with a high to max level Queen inside of it with foundations at the bottom, so it cannot bury to escape.
Once the baby is born, you can use either a creature that can carry other creatures or a Maewing so that Pheremone Glands aren’t a problem.
Imprint and continue making your army!
Same person who did the easy carcha no trap tame tip
Everybody says, “Get it under 2000.” But what weapons may you ask?
Here’s a list of the weapons I tested, best to worst order. It’s also my opinion, sorry if it’s not your piece of cake.
1. Ascendant pump shotgun (Don’t do too many shots.)
2. Fabricated Sniper rifle (Headshots.)
3. Assault rifle (Its lower since the ammo drains quickly.)
4. Shotgun (Pretty good.)
5. Tek railgun (Very long reload time, it can regen a bit of health.)
Obtaining a reaper
Find a reaper queen, R - reapers are found in Rockwell’s innards, but be careful of the summoners and the weird goo in Genesis 2. I use Captain Fatdog’s trap. Get it’s health below 2000, use a sheild to go near to get impregnated, this is an optional part but you can kill the reaper queen for the level of your child. The pheromone glands will come in handy of which she drops.
Stuff you will need :
Central lantern or a light pet
Metal, etc. shield
Ranged or melee weapon
Medical brews
Hazmat suit (Abberation)
Good luck and stay surviving!

Watch the YouTube vid nooblet’s made it works so well
Like to people see! Thanks for reading this🤗
For gen part 2 drag reaper queen to the final mission and let it fall in the water. It will take damage as long as it’s in there, then when it gets under 2k health bring it out and let it get you prego. And for people saying r reapers don’t jump they do lol.
Can you force tame the queen reaper?
So let me get this straight, you have to first get the thing with like 10,000 hit points below 2,000 hit points. Then you have to let it pound you into the ground while you wait for it to impregnate you by stinging you! Then you have to murder everything you can see. Then you have to give birth and get eaten by the child bigger than you!
This is not right.
When the baby pops food drops extremely fast so be sure to check them often.
If exposed to radiation..baby reaper inside you will die.
Easy way to tame them is trap them with foundations under them and they won't get out so you can get as many as you want.
The acid pit under the Rockwell terminal absolutely works to get whittle down the HP of a reaper for impregnation
In Genesis 2 go to rockwells innards get it low in the acid and have it impregnate you go in a 1x1 box and wait.
The quickest way to get impregnated is once it is glowing red, and then roars, it would most likely sniff you then do the cutscene to get impregnated. Hope this helps, good luck.
Hello! I was wondering what areas they spawn in? I cant seem to find a reaper queen anywhere.
Eat a gland a minute before birth (inside a 1x1 hut), cryo it and when you throw it back out it is no longer aggressive.
To tame it lower it's health to at least 3000 health or lower but make a trap with foundations so if you want a army of reapers the reaper won't bury under the ground because of the foundation
If you dont have a sheild or ur scared to dismount I recommend using a crab. you can easily dismount and hop back on quickly to get her attention and you can also hit her with a tool on the crabs back to get her attention(I had problems getting her to focus on me)
A surefire way of aborting your hard work is to be killed by the devs imperfect mesh defense.
Sometimes any cause of death can abort it, especially if you linger for longer than a minute or two before respawning
If you go to gen 2, go to Rockwell’s innards and go to the boss terminal spot with the giant beating heart. From there if u look down there will be a pool of acid surrounding the terminal area. Then look for an R reaper queen and then when you find one lead it into the acid. Shouldn’t be very hard to find. Constantly fly above it in the acid to keep it from burying to often, the acid rises and falls btw. Keep baiting until it’s below 2000 and gets a red glow, u can check it’s health with hlna don’t bully her she’s rly useful. Then quickly get the queen out of the acid because at below 2000 it can die very quickly. Then doge its attacks until the magic happens. It’s a good idea to have a small birth box nearby. Yay u have your own reaper. I’ve done this 6 times on pvp.
