Page 1: Observations
"Great reapers, takers of life, ghost-kin in name but gods of death in truth. Being originally sent from on high to work upon mortals, texts in all religions mention these beings with fear and awe. While each account differs, all agree on one thing: that the reapers exist only to free the soul of its earthly bonds and bear it back to the heavens. They appear before us to foretell our deaths, appearing again only when the time for severing worldly ties has come."

Requirement and Battle
Reapers spawn at almost every Waystone in the Great Crystal In order for Reapers to spawn, you must enter that particular zone with a total number of enemy killed within the Great Crystal divisible by 3. The number of Reapers spawned each time is dependent on the zone you spawn them. In the lower Great Crystal, you will get 1-2 Reapers at a time. In the upper Great Crystal, it will most often be 3 Reapers at a time.

In the lower Great Crystal, Reapers are not very tough enemies. You can easily defeat them by using Curaja a few times. In the upper Great Crystal, Reapers can be very tough enemies. Although they may use mid-level magicks, their attacks can inflict a lot of damage. It can instantly KO a party member using Death. It can also use its ability Dimensional Rift when kills party members, if close to the Reaper when using it. Dimensional Rift also kills the caster. Sometimes Reapers can appear invisible. When invisible, cast Reflect on a party member or Reflectga on all party members. Then stand close to the Reapers and use Curaja on the party and it will be reflected on the Reapers removing the invisible status.
