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

With E.R.P.O. constantly introducing new monsters, it's wise to bookmark this guide for the latest survival strategies. Below, you'll find detailed guides on specific monsters, along with general combat tactics:

  • Melee Combat: Equip yourself with weapons like the Machete or Hammer, available in the shop for 10k to 20k cash. These will spawn in your next level; pick them up with M1 and swing at monsters. Be cautious against ranged attackers like the Huntsman. Employ a hit-and-run strategy and carry healing packs for safer melee engagements.

  • Grenades and Mines: Purchase these from the shop. To use a Grenade, pick it up with M1, uncork it with E, and either throw it or leave it to detonate for massive damage against weaker or tankier monsters. Mines are placed and wait for monsters to trigger them.

  • Monster Brawl: Use the environment to your advantage. Lure a Huntsman into shooting another monster by hiding behind it and making noise with your steps or voice chat. Similarly, pull Reapers into each other during their attack animations for mutual damage.

Robe Guide (Ghost)

The shadowy Robe is a ghost-like entity that damages you on contact. Avoid direct confrontation by crouching to hide or kiting it around. Alternatively, use two Grenades or Mines to eliminate it by luring it towards the explosives. Melee combat is not recommended due to Robe's high damage output and teleportation ability, especially when you look at its mask.

Reaper Guide

The Reaper, a doll-like creature with spinning sword arms, is less damaging than the Robe but still dangerous in melee. You can kite it or take it down with melee weapons more safely. A single grenade combined with a few hits can defeat it, and explosives also stun the Reaper, making it easier to finish off.

Apex Predator Guide (Duck)

These adorable ducks are non-hostile until provoked. If you grab or damage them, they become aggressive, flying and biting with low damage but relentless pursuit. Outrunning them is your best option, though melee weapons or even a grenade can dispatch them swiftly due to their low health.

Huntsman Guide

The blind Huntsman wields a one-shot gun and relies on sound to target you. Stay silent and crouch with C, hiding under tables to avoid detection. Avoid melee combat as he has auto-aim. Instead, use mines or throw a grenade while crouched; the explosion will temporarily deafen him, giving you a window to attack with melee weapons.
