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

Given that E.R.P.O. frequently introduces new monsters, it's wise to bookmark this page for the latest updates. Below, you'll find detailed guides for each monster, along with general combat strategies:

  • Melee Combat: Equip yourself with melee weapons like the Machete or Hammer, available at the shop for 10k to 20k cash. These weapons will appear in your next level. Use the M1 key to pick them up and swing at monsters. Be cautious with ranged attackers like the Huntsman. Employ a hit-and-run tactic to minimize damage, and always carry healing packs for melee encounters.

  • Grenades and Mines: Available in the shop, grenades and mines are powerful tools. Pick up a grenade with M1, use E to uncork it, and either throw it or place it on the ground for an explosion that can decimate weaker monsters or severely damage stronger ones. Mines should be strategically placed and triggered by a monster stepping on them.

  • Monster Brawl: You can manipulate monster interactions to your advantage. For instance, bait a Huntsman to shoot another monster by running behind it and making noise, either by walking or using voice chat. Similarly, you can pull Reapers during their attack animations to cause them to damage other monsters or themselves.

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

Robe Guide (Ghost)

The Robe, a shadowy figure, will grab and damage you upon contact. To evade it, crouch and hide, or kite it around. It's best to eliminate it using two grenades or mines by luring it towards your trap. Avoid melee combat due to its high damage output. Be aware that Robe teleports and accelerates towards you if you look at its mask.

Reaper Guide

The Reaper, resembling a raggedy doll with spinning sword arms, can be kited or avoided. Unlike Robe, it doesn't teleport. It's more susceptible to melee attacks, requiring only one grenade and a few hits to be defeated. Grenades and mines also stun it, making it easier to finish off.

Apex Predator Guide (Duck)

These seemingly harmless ducks are non-hostile until provoked. If you grab or harm them, they become aggressive, flying and biting for minimal damage. They relentlessly pursue you, making outrunning them or using melee weapons your best options. Using grenades is excessive given their low health.

Huntsman

The Huntsman, a blind marksman with a one-shot gun, relies on sound to locate you. Use voice chat or fast walking to attract its attention. To evade, crouch and hide under tables. Melee combat is not advised due to its auto-aim feature. Instead, strategically place a mine or throw a grenade while crouched to stun it for 6 seconds, allowing a safe approach for melee attacks.
