Things are getting worse. Why Alterra Tech. doesn't allow me to use lethal weapon? Dis thing is almost near my base in.. SAFE??? Shallows! What the point of all this Vortex or Gas Torpedos if half minute later it tries to eat me again!
Note: this safe shallows biome is the closest to ship. And most beautiful.

Drill cant kill it.
Upd. I've tried to attack it with a drill. It bited me, I used drill. No effect. It seems like the only solution is Seamoth discharge.
I've managed not to lure any into the Shallows so far. I save right before I go anywhere near the Aurora, and in one case I reverted because one did seem to be following me and I just went a different way.
Soon it will be time to go out to the Mountain wreck. I plan on taking a Propulsion Cannon and the 20 or so Crash I've bred plus a bunch of acid shrooms. I suppose I'll need something other than the Stasis Rifle to pin him in place since the bubble probably protects him from projectiles, so I guess I'll have to chance a bunch of Vortex Torpedoes. Too bad both of those PRAWN arms are in the damned Mountains or Dunes wrecks, so once again what you need to pass an obstacle is secured BEHIND that obstacle in staggeringly terrible game design... I guess I'll have to try it the hard way, with a Seamoth and the hand-held versions.
You can with complete ease get past that reaper. I've never seen them near the wreck either. They're way to high up and to the South-West. The only thing to watch out for are the biters.

The wreck is clean of reapers. And with PRAWN I scouted all Grand Reef with depth and Blood Lelp. Grapple Hook rules. And when you earn jet pack, it will be much more comfortable.
One of comrades suggested me to hunt reaper with stasis rifle and knife only
I don't understand what should I do. I've tried PRAWN with drill and claws with or without grappling me by reaper, tried stasis + knife.
When I attacked it, it roars but after just roam around again without fast retreating. Seamoth discharge has the same effect, it just stops chewing me, but not retreat.
Well as long as creature leashing is still broken it won't retreat MUCH, just like everything else. Though I've actually gotten better results with Reapers than nearly everything else. Maybe size has something to do with it because I find that injured Reapers tend to high-tail it a good distance away, then come back about 30 to 60 seconds later. Most smaller critters just move a few yards away then come right back when you zap, stab, or gas them.
According to this video there is only dagger is a lethal weapon (as it written in game manuals). Will try to test it evening.
Which is why, as we all know, the stasis rifle only work if you hit it in or near the head. Which is fine except that any other objects that enter that bubble (other than the player) also gets caught in the stasis field. So when you freeze the reaper and go to stick floaters on it's back they don't stick because that area has no collision detection and may as well not exist. If you try to stick them on the front half, however, you're working inside the stasis field and your floater won't push forward to stick to the reaper. The only time it works is if you use a very short timed shot that creates a very small stasis and then maybe you can squeeze a floater into the space between the bubble and end of the model.
Needless to say after this experiment concluded I just said "screw this nonsense" and went back to my new favorite method of using my propulsion cannon as a missile launcher.
(I'm sure you can all figure it out)
I've tried to kill sandsharks with a drill and hook and decided that they cant be killed. They always ran away, so I thought that there is no point to kill things. According to video it is possible. Yeah, I know about reaper hitbox, but I didnt consider it's hp pool.
Personally I don't like to kill things, they are beautiful in their habitat, reapers are the most graceful in open water. And I hope they will respawn in it's biome.
Smth about 80 to 100% of diamond hardened dagger and stasis rifle. PRAWN riding with grapple is generally bad idea: with armor mod it still to squeshy and can outstand 3 reaper bites and still no control.
Now there is a new question: how to utilize this corpse?
Scan it.
I'd guess that the best option for Reapers is stasis/knife, though. MAYBE you could get a good hit in with a Cyclops, but they move a lot, and faster than that big boat.
How about this: full stasis field on a reaper, then dump a bunch of crash in his face, then shoot one more crash into the swarm as the field dies, and see if you can get them to chain explode? Or perhaps acid shroom dump so they chain as well?
Then frantically switch back to stasis and repeat.
Having the reinforced hull is a must for this. Grappling arm is also useful but you might be better off with 2 claws instead for faster damage dealing? Im not sure if you can attack them while they are holding onto you, but double claw would be great for that.
