Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a reaper? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a reaper.
WHY THIS SO FREAKING K1NKY- WHY-
The acid pit under the Rockwell terminal absolutely works to get whittle down the HP of a reaper for impregnation
If exposed to radiation..baby reaper inside you will die.
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.
The queen can pick you off your drake saddle for impregnation if you get off and get back on
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.
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?
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.
If you want an effective way while also kinda cool way to keep a Reaper King Baby from running away or killing everything on sight, build a metal 3x3 room, and build a small box in the corner with two double doors to work as a sort of airlock, and have some AC in the room, and when the Baby finally becomes a juvenile, you open the doors and lead it out.
For gen 2 All you need is a stone box, I use a 4x5 stone trap with the short sides being blocked by gateways, just have the queen chase you into a space biome and put the trap on the platform just outside the space biome entrance, have a roof on the trap tho, but it only needs to be as high as the gateways, the reaper will chase you inside and then you trap it, I used the striders chest cannon so I didn’t use any charge lighting cause of the chest cannon does enough damage with the reaper’s resistance, after the reaper is glowing red( low enough health) break a gate, lead it into the tube where there is gravity, it’ll do its thing then leave, for more tips hit up my Ig :spamz_from_tyty, or my snap war_hog3
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
You have to be online during the gestation
Up for people playing on official
ok so if your on gen 2 and want these boys dont bother woth weapons, onfact you can get them day 1 all youve got to do is go to rockwells innards and get then bellow 2k in the acid!
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
When the baby pops food drops extremely fast so be sure to check them often.
if you kill a baby giga while you are pregnant you will get the same amount of xp like kiling a lvl 300 giga.
I have never tamed a reaper in the game so don't take me on this but I heard that when it plants the baby in you and when it comes out you take a lot of damage so I thought a healing brew will help with the damage but don't take me on it can someone try to confirm this for me
Pretty much build a 7x7 metal (or stone) foundation, then put a behemoth gate where you'd like to bait the Reaper queen, then next to the right side of the gate build 4 pillars up and put ceilings around the sides of the entire foundation, now put 4 on the other side whilst putting 2 in corners and one every other ceiling. Now that your traps set have a pet or lantern with light and hurt the queen till it's really green (bloody) now stop hurting it and wait for a bright pink (from my experience but others say it's red) and wait at the front of the Reaper Queej with a shield.
Reaper Queens will shoot spike from there tail at you while the King's will shoot toxic slime balls at you incase someone doesn't know. :)
