Can't tame the Reaper

[D9sinc]

So for the last. . . 6 or 7 hours I've been in the Halls of the Reaper Queen and I've killed at least 20 queens trying to do the tactic to get them to impregnate me, but the part that's VERY aggravating is the whole "pink glow".

I get them down to 2K health. I see them get that pink Glow and than go up to them and tank them with the shield, but by that time they usually do the tail whip and send me flying.
Now that wouldn't be a big problem, but the thing is when I get back to them they lose the pink glow so I have to damage and weaken them again. . . only for the same problem to constantly arise. I'm not using any Admin Codes so I don't know what I could do to get this . . .thing to impregnate me and at this point I'm thinking of either force taming my own or spawning in a baby reaper king.

Sounds like a song title.

It does now that I read the title with the music in mind

Trap them in a smaller pen so they always are in range to impregnate you. Also, it doesnt seem to be a 100% chance for the impregnation to work either. I was testing on my server b cause there was a concern having diseases turned off kept it from working. Took 4 before i got the buff

I was worried I would have to build a trap. I've been trying for the last 15 minutes trying to do so, but I'm getting a bunch of Nameless spawning where I'm trying to build the trap and it makes it really annoying to deal with them even with my Megalasaurus's being there.

Also @Rotiart I've done that before and the Reaper would just run away a bit before it got the pink glow and wouldn't return till it left. I'll just have to build the trap so I can make sure it can't escape.

Nameless should not be spawning if you have charge lanterns or charge pets active. Also the queen heals really fast if you do not have her in the range of a charge pet or charge lantern at all times. Sounds like your missing that.

Build a trap, have a few charge pets when most points put into charge light range, so they cover a huge area and put down a few charge lanterns too.

I have a huge area covered by Charge Lanterns (It's enough to stop the nameless) only thing is I keep reading that if the Reaper is hit by a charge light it automatically loses the Pink Glow and won't impregnate you (which I've found out through testing.)

That's the main reason I just keep the light's off when I get it low in health and just switched to Plant Z fruits.

Sounds like you have done everything right then.....odd but you do have a few charge pets around when you stop the charge lanterns?

That's why I'm so frustrated by this whole thing. I even built the trap, but I guess the Reaper Queen attacks and damages Stone since she won't get in the trap, but instead sits at the entrance of it and just attacks it.

EDIT: Turns out that I THOUGHT I made Stone gateways, but they are wood ones.

Nope, that's just retarded AI

It would've been, but she was damaging them (I have the floating damage text thing enabled, but I found out that I was using Wooden Gateways where I thought I was using stone.
