How to Beat All Monsters in E.R.P.O.
E.R.P.O. continually introduces new monsters, so it's wise to bookmark this page for regular updates. Below, you'll find detailed guides on how to tackle each specific monster. While strategies vary, you can also engage them with various weapons:
Melee Combat: From Machetes to Hammers, these can be purchased in the shop for 10k to 20k cash. They'll appear in your next level; pick them up with M1 and swing at monsters to inflict damage. Be cautious with ranged attackers like the Huntsman. Employ hit-and-run tactics to minimize melee damage, and always carry healing packs for safety.
Grenades and Mines: Available in the shop, Grenades can be picked up with M1, unscrewed with E, and then thrown or placed on the ground for a timed explosion, which can deal massive damage to weaker monsters and significantly harm tougher ones. Mines require placement and await the monster's trigger step.
Monster Brawl: You can manipulate monster interactions, such as baiting a Huntsman to shoot another monster by positioning yourself behind it and making noise through movement or voice chat. Similarly, pulling Reapers during their attack can cause them to damage each other or other nearby monsters.
Robe Guide (Ghost)
This shadowy figure, known as Robe, requires you to keep your distance to avoid its damaging grasp. Crouching to hide or kiting it around are effective evasion tactics. For a more direct approach, lure Robe into two Grenades or Mines. Melee combat is discouraged due to Robe's high damage output. Be aware, Robe teleports and accelerates when you look at its mask.
Reaper Guide
The Reaper, a raggedy doll with spinning sword arms, poses a melee threat. It can be kited or avoided like Robe but lacks teleportation abilities, making it more susceptible to melee attacks. A single grenade combined with a few hits can take down a Reaper, with grenades and mines also causing it to stun.
Apex Predator Guide (Duck)
The seemingly harmless Apex Predators, or Ducks, are non-hostile unless provoked by direct interaction or accidental harm. Once enraged, they'll pursue you relentlessly, albeit with low damage output. Outrunning them or using melee weapons is your best defense. Grenades are an overkill option due to their low HP.
Huntsman
The Huntsman, a blind adversary armed with a gun, can one-shot you upon detecting your voice or fast movement. Crouch and hide to avoid detection. Avoid melee confrontations due to its auto-aim capability. Strategically place mines or throw grenades while crouched to stun the Huntsman for 6 seconds, providing an opportunity for a melee attack.
