No need for fancy shields or armour at all. When it starts to glow, make sure you're on a Rockdrake. When it tail swipes, jump off the Drake then back on. It'll grab you.

To get a reaper king I recommend you go genesis two keep the reaper in the acid until it is low health then get child run away then to get one on aberration just transfer from genesis two or build a trap and use a shield also another tip for aberration taming lead the reaper out the radiation zone trust me on piece of armour breaks you might need to make another set

Here is a good method to tame

1 build a trap similar to the trap of a giga (if you want multiple reapers u build it in stone foundations)

2 lure a queen into the trap using a fast and/or tanks mount e.g. carno

3 lock the queen in

4 lower the queen to 2000 health

5 turn your charge off and see if there is a pink glow

6a if there isn’t turn your charge back on and hit her another time repeat as many times necessary

6b if she if glowing red dismount or be on a small mount like carno or raptor Make sure your charge is off

7 wait for her to grab with her tail be warned there is a chance she will throw you instead of impregnate you

8 if you get impregnated the baby will be born in 12 hours be warned exposure to radiation will kill the baby

9 when the baby is born make sure to be in a 2x2 with a roof so the baby doesn’t escape

10 cyro the baby or use a pheromone gland to make it obey you.

11 once it is juvenile it will be the same as normal baby carnivore!

Kill a few baby megalosaurus and it’ll be at full xp so people don’t have to go around looking for reaper queens

Do they have reaper queens on gen 1? Say Tairrow in you response please so I know

On Gen 2 use the Rockwell stomach acid to help hurt them

If you get a reaper trapped and it down to the right health you will get impregnated but if you want multiple you can wait for the baby to be born and die and go back if the reaper is still there you can get impregnated again by the same reaper

To tame one on Genesis 2 you need to go in the Rockwell's innards and take the queen to the acid damage like area (not necessary but is the best way) and all you gotta do is craft some med brew because I think you might need it,Reapers will not be annoying to tame unless you ain't on Genesis 2

Trap a queen in metal or tell because I found out the hard way that queens one shot stone and can burrow thought it

Go to gen 2 and go in Rockwell's iners and put it in the acid pit is very easy to do

Just do it in gen 2 under the terminal

So the only easiest method for me is too find the reapers in Gen 2 in where rockwells heart is there you can find r-reapers and decent levels I would recommend going there instead of aberration

Give birth in a 1x1 glass chamber with nothing in you’re inventory but a fridge full of raw meat the reaper will kill you putting all the meat into its inventory so now you don’t need to feed it as a baby

The +75 levels distributed to a baby Reaper King’s stats are rolled for at birth. This means, if you’re playing solo on PC, you can create a backup of your world right before giving birth and roll back your world as many times as you want to try for better stat distribution.

(This strategy is for if you’re absolutely sick of hunting down good Reaper Queens.)

Disable wondering to make raising easy

The fun way to tame a taper king is to get you friend who doesn’t play Ark to play Ark, just say to him/her “I’m taming a Reaper, imma need your help cause I can’t tame it, it won’t knock out.” Once they get on you will both fire a crap ton of tranq arrows at it until it’s health is very very low, then just say “okay buddy you may have to get a little closer to fire the last few, but it looks pretty close to getting knocked out!” Once your friend gets picked up, dropped, and the reaper is gone, they may get discouraged, you should tell them, “you did it, look!” And once they notice that they are pregnant with an alien bug dinosaur thing, they will probably crap themselves!

And that is how you tame a reaper king, folks! ( it’s also how to have one less friend to play Ark with you😉)

If your character starves to death while having a R reaper not sure about regular it will kill the reaper. Keep this in mind

Takes 78.5 hours total to raise, each imprint is 11% except when it goes from 44 to 56% to offest for that 1% that would have been lost

The baby phase is 8 hours long.
