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

New monsters are frequently added to E.R.P.O., so I highly recommend bookmarking this page for the latest updates. Below, you'll find detailed guides on how to tackle each specific monster. While each monster has a unique strategy, you can also use various weapons to attack them:

• Melee Combat: From the Machete to the Hammer, these weapons can be purchased in the shop for 10k to 20k cash. They'll spawn in your next level; pick them up with M1 and swing them at monsters to deal damage. Be cautious against ranged attackers like the Huntsman. Employ a hit-and-run tactic to minimize melee damage, and don't forget to bring healing packs.

• 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 work similarly but must be placed and triggered by the monster. Both are effective against weaker and tankier monsters alike.

• Monster Brawl: You can manipulate a Huntsman to shoot another monster by running behind it and making noise via walking or using Voice chat. Similarly, pull Reapers during their attack animation to cause them to damage each other or other monsters.

Robe Guide (Ghost)

The Robe is a shadowy ghost that you must avoid. If it touches you, it'll grab and damage you. Crouch and hide to evade it, or kite it around. Alternatively, use 2 Grenades or 2 Mines to kill it by luring it towards you. 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 is a raggedy doll with sword arms that can deal melee damage. It can be kited or avoided similarly to Robe, but without teleportation. Melee weapons are more effective against Reaper as it doesn't deal as much damage as Robe. It takes one grenade and a couple of hits to kill, and grenades and mines can stun it.

Apex Predator Guide (Duck)

These small, seemingly harmless ducks are non-hostile until provoked. They follow you around peacefully but turn aggressive if grabbed or damaged. Once enraged, they fly and bite for low damage but relentlessly chase you. Your best strategy is to outrun them or use melee weapons to dispatch them. Grenades are overkill given their low health.

Huntsman

The Huntsman is a blind gunman who can one-shot you. He detects you through sound, either from your voice in Voice chat mode or fast footsteps. Crouch and hide under tables to avoid him. Melee combat is risky due to his auto-aim and one-shot capability. Instead, place mines near his location or throw a grenade while crouched. The explosion will temporarily deafen him, giving you a window to attack with melee weapons.
