Have you beaten the red reaper?

[Arhat]

The thing that chases you after the dread counter turns into red

[John Boltgun]

Only once, it is very hard even with +9 weapons. Haven't managed to beat it again since, personally. That said, I am not trying all that often

Does it give any special loot? Huge amount of vigor? Will the game send more reapers at you afterwards?

[Avlaen]

yes, its not "that" hard if you learn its attacks and when you can attack it, it dosent have many

Vigor was not worth it, but the 5 Umbral Scourings were nice. Ultimately, if you don't cheese it somehow, I am not sure it's worth farming for the scourings unless you are in dire need of a handful to get an item you want very badly.

not more than any other wraith.

It's not that he hard, its the constant adds that keep popping up. I had 2 other Scarlet Widows show up since they spawn in. So I had to deal with 3 annoying sob's at the same time. Not fun lol

Honestly, I always suggest Coop for scourings. Each boss usually gives between 4-8 scours and a ton of vigor(souls), plus you get pilfered coins(you can save up and buy the (+10/+5) crafting mat with those. Not to mention, you can help out another player. Even if its super laggy, sometimes the boss gets stuck in a looping aggro phase where it focuses on you, even when dead, freeing up the host to just unload on it without much fear.

I've done that in starting location, cause it seems red reapers there are weaker than in later areas.

That happened to me with the Cleric fight. She was so fixated on killing my dead buddy. That I just hit her until the second phase of her fight started, then I was able to revive him.

I think enemies scale based on the area. I thought the Reaper might have scaled based on player level, but if thats the case, then it seems like it might be safer to kill it in lower areas than end game.

I end up with stolen aggro in almost every random coop I join. When I notice the boss is focused on me, like endlessly so, that when even charged heavies form the host dont pull aggro at all? I let myself die and then watch the host unload into the boss. Its really useful to help out with more agile bosses, since they arent dodging and attacking the host anymore.
