Reapers not dying

[Pain In The Astrologian]

So I'm in the new area and...the reapers are not dying haha. I'm 40 minutes in, I have 11 reapers on screen being frozen constantly and getting constant damage and refusing to die. My stats are insane and they should have died by now if my previous runs are anything to go by.

Alright, thanks for letting me know!

he should still unlock Mask of the Red Death if he doesnt have it already

Reapers get ~635,000 HP per player level.
Most builds cannot output enough damage to contend with that scaling within a short period of time.

Thus the Reaper is typically killed via the 2 anti-reaper items mentioned.
Or by some kind of "remain a very low level" cheese strategies.
Or by Toastie with Divine Bloodline and evolving Legionnaire.

Yup if you kill even just one Death, with or without Crimson Shroud or Infinite Corridor, you WILL unlock Mask of Red Death. Which was why various methods of unlocking him were devised prior to both of those two Yellow Sign Evolution weapons.

No Captain Corridor?

Each bundle of numbers is a reaper

You actually killed a bunch of them, check killed enemies number on each screenshot. You just didn't notice, because killing reaper without Crimson Shroud or Infinite Corridor doesn't drop anything or trigger white death, and with amount of visual clutter it's very hard to notice them dying.

i’m in the same boat as you. sitting at 451 minutes… decided to let the game run through the night on my laptop

Ya I've had this happen too. I once let the game sit overnight because of it. I had 4000% movment speed I could literally outrun the reapers in a race it was crazy. Still couldn't kill them though since the map I was on didn't have the secret items but they couldn't kill me because I had laurals with 100% cooldown. I just had it happen again, but I could get coridor which instantly killed them.
