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

With new monsters being added regularly to E.R.P.O., it's a good idea to bookmark this page for the latest updates. Below, you'll find detailed strategies for dealing with each monster. While there are general tactics, specific weapons can also be used effectively:

  • Melee Combat: From the Machete to the Hammer, available in the shop for 10k to 20k cash, these weapons can be picked up with M1 and used to swing at monsters. Be cautious with creatures like the Huntsman, which can attack from a distance. Employ a hit-and-run strategy to minimize damage, and don't forget to bring healing packs for melee engagements.
  • Grenades and Mines: These can be purchased from the shop. To use a Grenade, pick it up with M1, uncork it with E, and then throw it or leave it to explode for significant damage, potentially killing weaker monsters and severely damaging stronger ones. Mines require placement and trigger upon a monster stepping on them.
  • Monster Brawl: You can manipulate monster behavior to your advantage. For example, bait a Huntsman to shoot at another monster by running behind it and making noise through walking or using Voice chat. Similarly, you can pull Reapers during their attack to cause them to damage each other or other monsters.

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

Robe Guide (Ghost)

The Robe, a large shadowy figure, is dangerous upon contact. To evade it, either crouch and hide or keep moving to avoid its grasp. It can be defeated with 2 Grenades or 2 Mines if you lure it close enough. Melee combat is not advised due to its high damage output. Be aware that Robe teleports and accelerates toward you if you look at its mask.

Reaper Guide

The Reaper, resembling a raggedy doll with spinning sword arms, is less threatening than the Robe but still requires careful handling. It can be kited or avoided, and unlike the Robe, it doesn't teleport. Melee combat is more viable here as it deals less damage. A single grenade combined with a couple of hits can take it down, and explosives can stun it, making it easier to finish off.

Apex Predator Guide (Duck)

The Apex Predator, or Duck, is non-hostile until provoked by grabbing or damaging it. When enraged, it becomes a relentless pursuer, flying and biting for minimal damage. Outrunning them is your best strategy, but if necessary, they can be dispatched with melee weapons. Using grenades is overkill given their low health.

Huntsman

The Huntsman, a blind marksman, can one-shot you with his gun. He relies on sound, triggered by nearby footsteps or voice chat. To survive, crouch with C and hide beneath tables. Avoid melee combat due to his auto-aim capability. 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.
