Reaper Farming Trouble

[</Penguin>]

I've been at Reaper Farming for the better half of two hours, and I have encountered zero -that's right, *zero*- Reapers. I own the game on Vita (shut up, I know) and have never had trouble getting the Reaper to show up in fifteen minutes. What gives? anyone experiencing the same situation as me?

I had this problem on the vita.. It took me 6 hours of farming to get it on my PS vita.. and yet I had it within 10 mins of going into the first dungeon on the PC version

it's Important to note that I can get the 'Rattle-o-Chains' sfx to play, I just can't seem to get a chest with him in it.

maybe it's the dungeon I'm doing this in? but I have done farming in Yuk- the Castle Dungeon before and had no trouble.

Iirc you have to beat the game first for him to appear. Reaper is a sort of new game+ enemy

It's all luck. I spent a whole day trying to get him to spawn, it ain't an easy task. Just gotta keep moving between floors, waiting for the rattle, checking a chest or two.

If there are multiple chests on one floor, I recommend opening the other chests first, then waiting for the rattle. That might(?) work.

It's funny because while I was playing through P4G he kept popping up, but when I started trying to farm him for the platinum trophy, he rarely showed up. Reaper's a sneaky one.

I got it. Finally. I'm guessing that it might have something to do with being chased by a shadow when opening a chest? I did a pass after clearing out all the shadows on my route, and, wouldn't 'cha guess it? there that fricker was.

open 21 chests and reaper appears

[ウィッチ（？）]

Chain rattling happens every 21 chests you have opened - both normal and locked chest counts.
Counts are kept even you exited TV world and came back other day.
When rattling starts, then you have about 25% chance to spawn it from opening next chest (but it will never spawn from locked chest).
Rattling sound will be gone when you open locked chest or move to next/previous floor.

If you really want to make it to spawn...
Save before opening 21st chest.
Then move to any dungeon and open two chest to see you are lucky (?) or not.
If not, load save and try again.

Not sure if this was coincidence, but when I started trying for the Godly Robe it didnt spawn until all members had their Reaper weapons equipped (including those not in party).

4th floor is the best for that, because it has 2 chests on it GUARANTEED and neither of them are locked.

So if you count chests, get it to 20, you can leave and save your game and just reload every time he doesn't spawn on the second chest.
