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

E.R.P.O. is constantly evolving with new monsters being added, so it's wise to bookmark this page for the latest updates. Below, you'll find detailed guides on how to tackle each specific monster. While there are general strategies, you can also use various weapons to combat them:

• Melee Combat: From the Machete to the Hammer, these weapons can be purchased in the 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 with ranged attackers like the Huntsman. A hit-and-run tactic is advisable to minimize damage, and don't forget to bring healing packs for melee engagements.

• Grenades and Mines: Available in the shop, Grenades can be picked up with M1, uncorked with E, and thrown or left to explode for massive damage. Mines are placed on the ground and detonate when stepped on by a monster, making them effective against both weaker and tougher foes.

• Monster Brawl: You can manipulate monster interactions to your advantage. For instance, bait a Huntsman to shoot another monster by positioning yourself 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, is a monster you need to avoid contact with to prevent damage. You can either crouch and hide or kite it around. For a more direct approach, lure it into two Grenades or Mines. Melee combat is not recommended due to Robe's high damage output. Be aware that Robe teleports and accelerates towards you if you look at its mask.

Reaper Guide

The Reaper, a raggedy doll with spinning sword arms, can be kited or avoided like the Robe but without the teleportation. It's more susceptible to melee attacks, requiring just one grenade and a few hits to defeat. Grenades and mines also stun the Reaper, making it easier to finish off.

Apex Predator Guide (Duck)

These seemingly harmless ducks are non-hostile until provoked. If you grab or damage them, they become aggressive, flying and biting with low damage but relentless pursuit. Your best strategy is to outrun them or use melee weapons for a quick kill. Using grenades is overkill given their low health.

Huntsman

The Huntsman, a blind marksman with a one-shot gun, relies on sound to locate you. Stay silent by crouching and hiding under tables. Avoid melee combat due to its auto-aim capability. Instead, strategically place a mine or throw a grenade while crouched to stun the Huntsman for 6 seconds, giving you a window to attack with melee weapons.
