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

E.R.P.O. is continuously evolving with new monsters being added, so it's wise to bookmark this page for the latest updates. Below, you'll find detailed strategies for dealing with each monster, along with general tactics using in-game weapons:

Beat them in Melee: You can purchase melee weapons like the Machete or Hammer from the shop for 10k to 20k cash. These will spawn in your next level, ready to be picked up with M1 and used to swing at monsters. Be cautious with ranged attackers like the Huntsman. A hit-and-run approach is advisable to minimize damage. Don't forget to bring healing packs for melee combat.

Grenades and Mines: Available in the shop, Grenades and Mines are effective against monsters. To use a Grenade, pick it up with M1, uncork it with E, and then throw it or leave it to explode, dealing massive damage. Mines work similarly; place them and wait for a monster to trigger them.

Monster Brawl: You can use the environment to your advantage. For instance, bait a Huntsman to shoot another monster by running behind it and making noise. Similarly, you can pull Reapers into each other during their attack animations to cause mutual damage.

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

Robe Guide (Ghost)

The Robe, a shadowy ghost-like entity, can be dangerous if you get too close. It will grab and damage you on contact. To survive, either crouch and hide or kite it around the area. You can also use 2 Grenades or 2 Mines to take it down by luring it towards them. Avoid melee combat as Robe inflicts significant damage. It also teleports and accelerates towards you if you look at its mask.

Reaper Guide

The Reaper, a raggedy doll with spinning sword arms, is less threatening than the Robe but still requires caution. It can be kited or avoided, and unlike the Robe, it doesn't teleport. Melee weapons are effective against it, requiring just one grenade and a few hits to defeat. Grenades and mines can also stun the Reaper, making it easier to finish off.

Apex Predator Guide (Duck)

The Apex Predator, or Duck, appears harmless and will follow you around unless provoked. It becomes hostile if you grab it or it gets damaged. Once enraged, it will relentlessly pursue and bite you, though its damage is low. Your best strategy is to either outrun it or use melee weapons to quickly dispatch it. Grenades are an overkill due to the Duck's low health.

Huntsman

The Huntsman, a blind marksman, is lethal with his one-shot gun. He relies on sound, triggered by your voice in Voice chat mode or fast movement. To evade, crouch and hide under tables. Melee combat is risky as he has auto-aim. Instead, place a mine in his path or throw a grenade while crouched. The explosion will temporarily deafen him, giving you a window to attack with melee weapons.
