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

New monsters are frequently added to E.R.P.O., so bookmark this page for the latest updates. Below, you'll find specific guides for each monster. While there are general strategies, you can also use various weapons to combat them:

Melee Combat: From the Machete to the Hammer, these 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, especially against ranged attackers like the Huntsman. Employ a hit-and-run tactic to minimize damage, and always carry healing packs for melee encounters.

Grenades and Mines: Also 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 hurting the tougher ones. Mines are placed and await a monster's step. Both can be game-changers in your survival strategy.

Monster Brawl: You can manipulate monster interactions to your advantage. For instance, bait a Huntsman into shooting another monster by running behind it and making noise, whether by walking or using Voice chat. Similarly, you can pull Reapers into each other during their attack animations, causing them to damage one another. Now, let's delve into the strategies for each monster.

Robe Guide (Ghost)

The Robe, a shadowy figure, is dangerous upon contact. Evade it by crouching and hiding or kiting it around. You can eliminate it using 2 Grenades or 2 Mines by luring it close. Melee combat is not advised due to Robe's high damage output. Be aware, it teleports and accelerates towards you when you look at its mask.

Reaper Guide

The Reaper, resembling a raggedy doll with sword arms, is less threatening than Robe but still dangerous in melee. You can kite it or use melee weapons to defeat it since it doesn't deal as much damage. A single grenade can stun it, making it easier to finish off with a couple of hits.

Apex Predator Guide (Duck)

These seemingly harmless ducks turn aggressive if provoked. They're non-hostile by default but become relentless when attacked or if something falls on them. They inflict low damage but pursue relentlessly. Outrun them or dispatch them with melee weapons; grenades are overkill given their low health.

Huntsman

The Huntsman, a blind marksman, can one-shot you with his gun, relying on sound to locate you. Stay quiet and crouch to avoid detection. Melee combat is risky due to his auto-aim. Instead, place mines near his path or throw grenades while crouched to stun him for 6 seconds, then attack with melee weapons.
