How to Beat All Monsters in E.R.P.O.

New monsters are frequently added to E.R.P.O., so I highly recommend bookmarking this page for the latest updates. Below, you'll find detailed guides for each monster. While there's a strategy for every creature, you can also use various weapons to tackle them:

• Melee Combat: From the Machete to the Hammer, these weapons can be purchased at the shop for 10k to 20k cash. They'll appear in your next level, ready for you to pick up with M1 and swing at monsters. Be cautious with ranged attackers like the Huntsman. I suggest using a hit-and-run tactic to minimize damage, and always carry healing packs for melee engagements.

• Grenades and Mines: Available in the shop, Grenades and Mines are potent tools. To use a Grenade, pick it up with M1, uncork it with E, and throw it or leave it to explode, dealing massive damage to weaker monsters and significantly impacting stronger ones. Mines require placement on the ground, waiting for monsters to trigger them.

• Monster Brawl: You can strategically use monsters against each other. For instance, bait a Huntsman to shoot another monster by positioning yourself behind it and making noise via walking or voice chat. Similarly, you can pull Reapers into each other during their attack animations for mutual damage.

Now, let's dive into specific strategies for each monster.

Robe Guide (Ghost)

The Robe is a shadowy figure that can grab and damage you on contact. To evade it, either crouch to hide or kite it around. You can also eliminate it with 2 Grenades or 2 Mines by luring it to your location. Melee combat is not advised due to Robe's high damage output. Note that Robe teleports and accelerates towards you when you look at its mask.

Reaper Guide

The Reaper is a doll-like creature with spinning sword arms, dealing melee damage. You can kite it or avoid it similarly to the Robe, but without the teleportation risk. It's more susceptible to melee attacks, requiring just one grenade and a couple of hits to defeat. Grenades and mines can also stun the Reaper, making it easier to finish off.

Apex Predator Guide (Duck)

These adorable ducks are non-hostile and will follow you unless provoked. They become aggressive if grabbed or damaged, flying and biting for minimal damage but relentlessly pursuing you. Your best strategy is to outrun them or use melee weapons to take them down. While grenades can kill them, it's overkill given their low health.

Huntsman

The Huntsman is a blind marksman who can one-shot you. He relies on sound to locate you, triggered by speaking near him in Voice chat mode or walking quickly nearby. To evade him, crouch with C and hide under tables. Avoid melee combat due to his auto-aim capability. Instead, place a mine near his path or throw a grenade while crouched. The explosion will temporarily deafen him, allowing you to close in with melee weapons.
