How to Beat All Monsters in E.R.P.O.
E.R.P.O. is constantly evolving with new monsters being added, so it's wise to bookmark this page for the latest updates. Below, you'll find detailed guides on how to tackle each monster. While there are general strategies, you can also use various weapons to combat them:
- Melee Combat: From the Machete to the Hammer, these weapons can be purchased in 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. Be cautious with ranged attackers like the Huntsman. Employ a hit-and-run tactic to minimize damage, and always carry healing packs for melee engagements.
- Grenades and Mines: Available in the shop, Grenades can be picked up with M1, uncorked with E, and thrown or left to explode for massive damage. Mines are placed on the ground and detonate when stepped on by monsters, making them effective against both weaker and tankier foes.
- Monster Brawl: You can manipulate monster interactions to your advantage. For instance, bait a Huntsman to shoot another monster by positioning yourself behind it and making noise. Similarly, you can pull Reapers into each other during their attack animations to cause mutual damage.
Robe Guide (Ghost)
The Robe, a shadowy ghost, is dangerous upon contact. To evade it, crouch and hide or keep kiting it around. It's best to avoid melee combat due to its high damage output. Instead, use 2 Grenades or 2 Mines to take it down by luring it into the blast radius. Be aware that Robe teleports and accelerates towards you if 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 a threat in melee. You can kite it or use melee weapons to defeat it more easily. It takes just one grenade and a couple of hits to kill, and grenades and mines can stun it, giving you an opening to attack.
Apex Predator Guide (Duck)
These seemingly harmless ducks become aggressive if provoked or damaged. When enraged, they'll relentlessly chase and peck at you, though their damage is low. Outrunning them is your best strategy, but if necessary, they can be dispatched with melee weapons or a grenade, though the latter is overkill given their low health.
Huntsman
The Huntsman, a blind marksman, can one-shot you if he hears you through voice chat or fast footsteps. To survive, crouch and hide under tables. Avoid melee combat due to his auto-aim capability. Instead, place a mine near his path or throw a grenade while crouched to stun him for 6 seconds, allowing you to close in with melee weapons.
