Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a reaper? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a reaper.
Before you get impregnated kill a reaper queen for glands and not get killed
I found that using 4 gates and a large bear trap traps it.
You can then use a charged lantern to weaken it and then you can attack it. Make sure to turn off the light when it gets low though otherwise it will die.
Use a trap with charge lantern or light pet with a ballista check periodically turn lights off and look for red glow then you are ready
If you put stone foundations on your trap where the queen is standing and the queen doesn’t bury after impregnating you, you can either kill it to max out your offspring xp, or save it for more babies.
Make a 5x4 Stone foundation( or Metal) and place 3 Dino gates around it. Then put a behemoth gate at one end and that will help you trap it.
Can survive 24 hours without food lol
Bulbdoggo +rpg equals reaper king 👑
Reapers are my fav Dino, they are OP,and can be found at the spine on aberration, along with genesis,to tame one,make a 20 wide 20 long stone floor, put stone gateways around it,and find a female reaper,trap her in the stone, get a tek phase pistol,put it on kill, and shoot her until she has a red glowing aura, when she has the aura,get a riot/metal shield, block her acid tail shots,and move close to her, she will then pick you up and impregnate you with her tail,then she will dig and run away,you then have yourself a baby male reaper,kill as many Dinos as you can, this will level up your baby reaper,eventually it will burst out,and then you feed it meat,BE WARNED baby reapers will kill you,so kill a female one,go in her inventory,and get the pheromones,when you feed the reaper, eat the pheromones, and it will grow to be an OP mount, good for absolutely destroying people’s bases.
On gen2 you can cheese it by baiting them down into the acid pit at the bottom, if you want to speed up the process use a charge lantern it makes it 10x faster
I got my 150 in a metal trap and used a spino and feather light to get it to 600hp then got pregnant
To tame a reaper should select the reaper queen wanted and trap it in a stone 5 by 7 trap surrounded by pillars and close I up with railing then activate a charge lantern to weaken it and damage it with a ballista turrent intill it's under 2000 health and then you should turn of the light, lead it to the back of the trap to be impregnated (to know if it's ready for impregnation you will see a red glow around the neck, if the PILLARS ARE BLOCKING THE TAIL FRM IMPREGNATING YOU YOU SHOULD go to the back and break the pillars so it can sniff you and impregnate)
I can confirm that being in god mode doesn’t stop you getting the offspring buff
Aberrant Reaper Queens have hidden colour regions that pass down onto the offspring.
It’s not easy unless you have great source of food and a more easy way to trap anything,it can detect, not breed, and has a lot of good stats every few times it’s mostly health to be good.
They really turned the tables on this one
once impregnated don’t drown or go into radiation. You are allowed to go into tek sleeping pod since they fixed that. Once it pops make sure you are blackboxed with meat in your inventory. It will kill you and take all the meat and as long as you don’t cryo it, you won’t have to feed it until it grows up. Even with slow official rates
ASA changed Reaper Level Calculations. Since i've found no credible data on this yet, i experimented to get a working formula. Base Level of the Embryo (E) doesnt change below Player-Level (P) 50, its allways 0.6x of the breeding Queen (Q). Above that (P>=50) it rises according to E = Q+(P-150)*0,6*(Q/150). The possible 75 Bonus levels during gestation are just added on top flat, and are not impacted by player level. A whole level has to be reached and is not rounded up. The formula is pretty accurate, tested on ~100 combinations, and only in very few cases off by a single level, i am not yet sure as to why. ~SK
K so I came to get a reaper not to get a xenomorph queen to fall in love with me and have a alien egg hatch inside me and have all my organs severely bruised torn and probably eaten at some point then have it bursting out of my chest then having it eat me with all my cooked meat, but in the end I did decimate all the alpha tribes and became the alpha of of that tribe let’s repeat the process again on another sever. :)
You can tame them in gen 2 just go the the cave for the boss fight near the terminal they spawn just got to lure them out the ground then lure them in acid Pitt (under the terminal) there it will take damage from rising acid. when its almost dead lure it back out the pitt if it glows red /pink aprouch with shield it wil impregneren you.
Get out of there and kill shit.
when giving birth get in to smal room with lot of Meat
Enjoy new reaper.🙂
Super easy to tame on Genesis part two. I tamed mine as my second tame. (I'm kinda a phsycho path but...) all you need is a compound bow which aren't hard to find in gen prt 2 drops crossbow also works fine. Once you get that and about a hundred arrows. you have to then head over Rockwell inners and find yourself a reaper queen. Do your best to not agro anything but then you need to lead it to the acid pit below Rockwell heart. Then you just need to get it below 2000 health and lead it out and wait for it to impregnate you. Once you do that get out. Also shoot the tentacles and don't bring anything you care about, including mounts and being beds incase you die. Place them buy his heart. Hopefully this helps!
