Talk:Reaper Shark
Tips
Suggestion for a tips section on defeating the reaper shark easily. In my own world, I happened to be led through the underworld to the bottom of the abyss, and decided to dig in. From there, I attacked a reaper shark, promptly fled in fear to the underworld itself, and discovered the shark had followed me through blocks into the underworld itself. This placed the shark on dry land, highly lowering its finer maneuverability and allowing the use of the rod of discord's effects for dodging its attacks; plus, while it can leap incredibly high, it would often overshoot or become caught on other blocks, which it could not pursue me through unlike in an underwater environment. TL;DR : Dig into the abyss from the underworld, attack a reaper shark to lead it out of the abyss into the underworld, handily defeat it. Leads to perhaps slower but much more accessible collection of its loot. Notably, I play on an older mod version, 1.4.2.161, and am unsure if there have since been changes to make this impossible. 47.185.51.166 00:23, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
- It seems to be more of an exploit than a strategy, we also try to keep tips to the latest version (which as of December 2020 is v1.4.5.007). Merkalto (talk) 03:51, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
- Ah, nix this. The reaper shark is able to swim through the air, not only in water.
Triple Threat
The page says that the Colossal Squid, Reaper Shark, and Eidolon Worm are mutually Exclusive. I just got this screenshot when the other two spawned while I was fighting the shark.
