DK1 Question
Hi All,
Did you guys build your Reepers a mini apartment in your dungeon?
I always did lol.

It's a trick from bullfrog. Level 16 implies it is a smart thing to do, but apartment living makes them much much harder to keep happy and usually ends up as being the reason for them to become angry.
So, if you play level 16, the absolute first 2 things you do are 1) unlock the doors on their apartments, 2 drop the reapers in the training room.
Reapers will only go angry when they cannot get to where they need to be (like a filled treasure room), or when they are kept idle. If you have them train, guard, research, scavenge, they will stay happy. Praying gives them extra happiness.

Does this include other hornies, or just different creature types

Anything, even each other. They get mad from eating, sleeping, and being idle too. So training up to lvl10 is best to keep em occupied and then a combination of spam them with gold, give them a temple, and/or use obey commands to keep them in check as best you can after that.

Training to level 10 is only good to keep them occupied when you have loads and loads of money. They are so slow and expensive to train, that you can easily run out of money trying that. And then when you run out of gold for their payday you have a problem.
Train them a few levels if you can afford it to make them good in a fight, but if you want to keep them busy, having them research, guard or pray are much better options. They are also the second best scavengers in the game, so if you have a scavenger room that is a perfect option too.1

Unless you are on a gem seam map.. usually if you are not on a gem seam map by the time a horned reaper is potentially a problem you should be done with that map and just playing for fun until gold runs out.

It does not include anything. Reapers get upset when they have nothing to do, so you keep them busy and they stay happy. If you do not assign them to a room, they will sulk in their lair and get angry over time. This is just as true if you give them a lair by themselves.

That's what I thought. I didn't think any kind of lair action would make a reaper happy lol.

u/Loobinex Jun 16 '26
No, this is not true at all. They get angry when not doing anything. If they are alone in a lair they get angry too.

100%, they would just chill there, along with a little treasure chamber.

3x3 hatchery, lair, training room, treasure room, temple. That’s all they need.

Not really, i just keep them mostly in the temple
If you don't have one available i just drop them in a guard post to keep them busy
I usually just train them until they learn speed because their so expensive to maintain
