How to Beat All Monsters in E.R.P.O.
With new monsters being added to E.R.P.O. regularly, it's wise to bookmark this page for the latest updates. Below, you'll find detailed guides for each monster. While there are universal strategies for tackling them, you can also utilize various weapons:
Melee Combat: From the Machete to the Hammer, these weapons are available at the shop for 10k to 20k cash. They'll appear in your next level, ready to be picked up with M1 and used to swing at monsters. However, be cautious when facing ranged attackers like the Huntsman. Adopt a hit-and-run approach to minimize damage taken, and always carry healing packs for melee encounters.
Grenades and Mines: These can be purchased at the shop as well. To use a Grenade, pick it up with M1, uncork it with E, and either throw it or leave it to detonate, causing massive damage to weaker monsters and significantly hurting tougher ones. Mines require placement on the ground, waiting for monsters to trigger them.
Monster Brawl: Clever tactics can turn monsters against each other. For instance, you can lure a Huntsman to shoot another monster by positioning yourself behind it and making noise through movement or voice chat. Similarly, you can manipulate Reapers during their attack animations to cause them to damage each other or other nearby monsters.
Robe Guide (Ghost)

The Robe, a shadowy apparition, is a monster you'll want to keep your distance from. Contact with it results in damage, so either crouch and hide or kite it around. Using two Grenades or Mines can take it down, but melee combat is ill-advised due to its high damage output. Be mindful that the Robe teleports and accelerates towards you when you gaze at its mask.
Reaper Guide

The Reaper, a raggedy doll with spinning sword arms, deals melee damage. While it can be kited or avoided like the Robe, it lacks teleportation abilities, making it more manageable in melee combat. A single grenade and a couple of hits can defeat it, and explosives also stun it, giving you an advantage.
Apex Predator Guide (Duck)

These adorable ducks are non-hostile until provoked by grabbing or accidental damage. Once enraged, they'll fly and bite, relentlessly pursuing you. Your best strategy is to outrun them or use melee weapons for a quick takedown. Using grenades is excessive given their low HP.
Huntsman

The Huntsman, a blind gunman with deadly accuracy, can one-shot you. He relies on sound, triggered by your voice or fast movement. To evade him, crouch and hide under tables. Avoid melee combat due to his auto-aim capability. Instead, strategically place mines or throw grenades while crouched to stun him for 6 seconds, allowing you to close in with melee weapons.
