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

E.R.P.O. is continuously updated with new monsters, so it's wise to bookmark this page for the latest strategies and tips. Below, you'll find detailed guides on tackling each monster, along with general tactics to use across the board. Here are some common methods to engage with these creatures:

• Melee Combat: From Machetes to Hammers, these weapons can be purchased in the in-game shop for 10k to 20k cash. They'll appear in your next level, ready to be picked up with M1 and used to swing at monsters. Be cautious, especially against ranged attackers like the Huntsman. A hit-and-run strategy is advisable to minimize damage, and always carry healing packs when engaging in melee.

• Grenades and Mines: These can be found in the shop. To use a Grenade, pick it up with M1, unscrew the cap with E, and then throw or place it on the ground to cause a massive explosion. Mines are placed and activated when a monster steps on them, dealing significant damage to weaker monsters and impacting stronger ones.

• Monster Brawl: Clever positioning can turn monsters against each other. Lure a Huntsman to shoot at another monster by hiding behind it and making noise, or pull Reapers into each other during their attack animations to cause mutual damage.

Robe Guide (Ghost)

The Robe, a shadowy figure, is lethal upon contact. Evade it by crouching to hide or by kiting it around the area. It can be taken down with 2 Grenades or 2 Mines by luring it close. Melee combat is not advised due to the high damage Robe inflicts. Be aware that Robe teleports and accelerates towards you if you gaze at its mask.

Reaper Guide

The Reaper, with its spinning sword arms, poses a melee threat. While it can be kited like the Robe, it lacks teleportation abilities, making it easier to engage in melee combat. A single grenade followed by a couple of hits should suffice to defeat it. Grenades and mines also stun the Reaper, giving you an opening for attack.

Apex Predator Guide (Duck)

The seemingly harmless ducks are non-hostile until provoked. They will follow you peacefully but turn aggressive if you grab them or cause them harm. When enraged, they pursue relentlessly, though their bite inflicts minimal damage. Outrunning them or using melee weapons are effective strategies. Grenades are overkill given their low health.

Huntsman

The Huntsman, a blind marksman, can one-shot you upon detection, triggered by sounds from voice chat or rapid movement. To avoid his lethal shots, crouch and take cover under tables. Melee combat is risky due to his auto-aim capability. Instead, strategically place mines in his path or throw grenades while crouched to stun him for 6 seconds, providing an opportunity for melee attacks.
