Can you tame a Reaper Queen?
The answer to the question of taming a Reaper Queen is a complex one, as it requires a specific process and conditions to be met, involving the queen’s health and impregnation of a player, but ultimately, it is not possible to tame a Reaper Queen in the classical sense, as the process is more about raising a Reaper from birth. The Reaper Queen will impregnate a player, and after a period of time, a Reaper will be born, which can then be imprinted and raised by the player, but the queen itself cannot be tamed or domesticated.
How to Tame a Reaper Queen
Step-by-Step Process
To start the process of raising a Reaper, a player must first find a Reaper Queen, which can be a challenging task, and then lower its health to a critical level, making it vulnerable to impregnation. The player must then tank the queen’s attacks for a period of time, until it performs a specific animation that impregnates the player.
Impregnation and Birth
After impregnation, the player will have a limited amount of time, usually around 12 in-game hours, before the Reaper is born, at which point it will burst out of the player’s chest, and the player can then start the process of imprinting and raising the new Reaper.
