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

E.R.P.O. continuously introduces new monsters, so it's wise to bookmark this page for the latest updates. Below, you'll find detailed strategies for each monster. While each monster has a specific approach, you can also use various weapons to tackle them:

• Melee Combat: Utilize weapons like the Machete or Hammer, available in the shop for 10k to 20k cash. These weapons will spawn in your next level; pick them up with M1 and swing at monsters to inflict damage. Exercise caution with monsters like the Huntsman, who can shoot from a distance. A hit-and-run tactic is highly recommended to minimize melee damage, and don't forget to bring healing packs.

• Grenades and Mines: Also purchasable in the shop, grenades and mines can be devastating. Pick up a grenade with M1, uncork it with E, then throw it or leave it on the ground to explode, dealing massive damage to weaker monsters and significantly impacting stronger ones. Mines require placement and activation when stepped on by a monster.

• Monster Brawl: Strategically, you can bait a Huntsman to shoot another monster by positioning yourself behind it and making noise through walking or voice chat. Similarly, you can manipulate Reapers during their attack animations to cause them to damage each other or other monsters.

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

Robe Guide (Ghost)

The Robe, a large shadowy figure, is dangerous upon contact as it can grab and damage you. To evade it, crouch and hide or kite it around. You can eliminate it using 2 grenades or 2 mines by luring it into your trap. Melee combat is not advised due to Robe's high damage output. Be mindful that Robe teleports and accelerates towards you if you look at its mask.

Reaper Guide

The Reaper, characterized by its ragged doll appearance and spinning sword arms, inflicts damage through melee. It can be kited or avoided similarly to Robe, though it doesn't teleport. Melee weapons are more effective against Reaper due to its lower damage output. It takes just one grenade and a few hits to dispatch it, with grenades and mines capable of stunning it.

Apex Predator Guide (Duck)

These seemingly harmless ducks become aggressive if provoked, such as being grabbed or harmed by falling objects. When enraged, they fly and bite, though dealing minimal damage. They relentlessly pursue you, making hiding ineffective. Your best strategies are to outrun them or use melee weapons. Grenades are an overkill given their low health.

Huntsman

The Huntsman, a blind gunman capable of one-shot kills, relies on sound to detect you. Avoid making noise near him by using voice chat or fast walking. Crouch and hide under tables to stay safe. Melee combat is risky due to his auto-aim. Instead, place mines around his path or throw grenades while crouched. The resulting explosion will temporarily deafen him, allowing you to approach with melee weapons.
