Run and don’t die and it nightmares

Step 1: put mutagel or mutagen in your last item slot.

Step 2: approach from outside of its light area, and click E.

Step 3: die a horrible death

Step 4: I wasted your time

What I've learned from battling these to find an R-Reaper:

1. As you've probably read, they project a spotlight passively, if you find yourself within this cone of light, prepare for a fight.

2. THEY HAVE A SHIELD. Save your ammo/element, their shield only comes down for approximately 1-3 shots of a tek rifle, or one shot of a shotgun. If working with another player time your shots & shoot together.

3. It's either summons or spikes! They will shoot a round of spikes at you OR they will shoot a slow moving purple ball down towards the ground, causing dinos to spawn. Unless the spawns are fliers just ignore them, stay in the air, and continue the fight.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The shield will stay up until it finishes the attack or finishes spawning in dinos, stay on the move until then!

Good luck and stay vigilant my friends

These things are like watch guards. They have a light that shines from them that when you go in it they summon R variant creatures that are super hard to kill. It also has “babies” that appear after acquiring mutagen or spawning naturally, these swarms are a MUCH worse version of the insect swarm. Good luck to anyone encountering this!

They cannot be tamed, only forcetamed

When you forcetame there rideable

"If you can forcetame it that must mean the devs wer planning to make it a tame in the base game right? Cause why would they have the forcetame"

To the person who said this, dislike this if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure you can forcetame anything in the game including bosses. So not everything was meant to be tameable.

Step 1: Approach with caution

Step 2: Shoot it

Step 3: Realize you’ve made a very stupid decision as you wet your pants

Step 4: Run

Step 5: Fail to escape the horrible death that awaits you

Step 6: Die

Step 7: Repeat first 6 steps until burnout starts to kick in

Step 8: Wallow in the sorrows of your failures

Step 9: Stop playing Ark for a week

Step 10: Get back on and repeat these steps over and over again for the rest of your days

once they spot you with their light they shoot some kind of projectile and that spawns different creatures that will attack you i’ve come across snow owls, bats shadowmanes, quetzals, sabertooths, argy etc. best way is to not get spotted if u get spotted the light will glow red

Whenever you encounter one of these things, or plan on encountering, or just found it, you should most likely bring some flak armor and a pump action shotgun, also make sure to bring a few extra pairs of armor, because when this thing attacks it is completely invulnerable. Hope this helped!

It’s favorite food is Admincheat: forcetame

Once tamed it can be ridden

When ridden you go inside it’s Sheild

Right click activates/deactivates the sheild

Left click shines a light

C opens the mouth, letting you use a different set of attacks

Left click fires purple orbs

Right click fires one large orb

Be careful when getting mutagen in Rockwell’s innards, one teleports to you when you pick up the mutagen thing and they spawn lots of high level dinos that attack you

One of the worst enemies to cross paths with. Exclusive to Gen-2 (Borros sector) is only found in rockwells proliferation. This mini boss is known as the summoner. So let’s jump right to the deep end, (spoilers)

So what do summoners do? Well they have one job that I know of. Judging by notes, and what they look like in general, they obviously guard rockwells innards. And they know full well how to do it. So what does it look like? If you look at the picture, that’s what it looks like when it’s in attack mode. They look like a still budding rose, with a light shooting out the little opening, this is it’s one way of seeing. Even setting foot in that light will make it unfold, and form that point it’s game over. However when they are in they’re docile mode, they only become aggressive when they are physically harmed, or entering the spotlight. Avoiding them is an option but you will run into multiple inside Rockwell.

So what do they do when they’re aggressive? The answer is don’t find out in game. Making one aggressive is bad enough, and I’ll tell you exactly why. Upon provoking a summoner, it locates the said hostile (always the player), while spinning, it emits a loud screech. And that screech seals your fate, unless you came armed to the teeth, then you can kiss your life goodbye. But like all creatures they can be stopped but it’s not easy. If your try to run, it has the very quirky ability to teleport in front of you. It also comes pre equipped with a forcefield, on top of itself being untouchable, it summons R- creatures. And once summoned they B line straight for you. The summoner will then turn its forcefield off, and shoot you with purple stuff. And if that wasn’t enough, if it starts taking damage it will teleport somewhere else close by and re engage.

You don’t get anything for killing them, and to add insult to injury, multiple of them can aggro and make your life to what is very similar to what we all know as hell. Speaking of the underworld for example: “ahh what a GREAT day to farm some mutagen! :D” upon finding some you arrogantly grab it “that took forever wait what is th-“ and this is the moment just before disaster. Upon farming the mutagen plant, it summons not 1 but 2 summoners. And yes they both are very angry with you.

So before you go to rockwells innards just know there are some demonic stars that might have beef with you, and if you run into one, you can cross your fingers and hope you get out alive! Thx for reading!

Easy tame favorite food forcetame

knock it out with your fist and feed it mejoberries

Just pray to the ark gods and run

Btw if you forcetame it the Dino’s it summon will attack your summoner so yeah

These guys aren’t tamable but you can force tame

Use a shadowmane and go invisible they can’t see you and will leave you alone

The weird tentacle things CAN see you however and they will shoot you and cause you to lose your invisibility so watch out.

There’re Rockwell’s security patrol they make everything harder. Take out the force field or make them tame able
