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

E.R.P.O. continually introduces new monsters, so bookmarking this page is a smart move to stay updated. Below, you'll find detailed guides on specific monsters, along with general combat strategies:

  • Melee Combat: Equip yourself with melee weapons such as the Machete or Hammer, available in the shop for 10k to 20k cash. These weapons will spawn in your next level, ready for you to pick up with M1 and swing at monsters. Be cautious with ranged attackers like the Huntsman. Adopt a hit-and-run approach to minimize damage, and always carry healing packs for melee engagements.

  • Grenades and Mines: Purchase Grenades and Mines from the shop. To use a Grenade, pick it up with M1, unscrew it with E, and throw or place it strategically to maximize damage against weaker monsters or significantly harm tougher ones. Mines are effective when placed where monsters are likely to step.

  • Monster Brawl: Strategically manipulate monster interactions. Lure a Huntsman to shoot at another monster by positioning yourself behind it and making noise, either by walking or using Voice chat mode. Similarly, you can pull Reapers during their attack animations to cause them to damage each other or other nearby monsters.

Robe Guide (Ghost)

The Robe, a shadowy figure, requires you to keep your distance to avoid its damaging grasp. Hide by crouching or keep kiting it around. To defeat it, bait 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 when you look at its mask.

Reaper Guide

The Reaper, characterized by its doll-like appearance and sword arms, can be managed similarly to the Robe but is less dangerous in melee. It doesn't teleport, making it easier to kill with melee weapons. A single grenade, combined with a few hits, will take down a Reaper, and explosives can stun it, giving you the upper hand.

Apex Predator Guide (Duck)

These seemingly harmless ducks become aggressive when provoked, either by grabbing them or causing them harm. Once enraged, they relentlessly pursue you, dealing low damage but persistent in their chase. Your strategy should focus on outrunning them or using melee weapons to dispatch them swiftly. Grenades are overkill given their low health.

Huntsman

The Huntsman, a blind marksman, can one-shot you with his gun. He detects you through sound, triggered by voice chat or fast movement. To survive, crouch with C and take cover under tables. Avoid melee combat due to his auto-aim capability. Instead, strategically place a mine or throw a grenade while crouched; the explosion will temporarily deafen him, allowing you a window to attack with melee weapons.
