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

*E.R.P.O.* is constantly evolving with new monsters being added regularly. It's a good idea to bookmark this page for the latest updates. Each monster has its own strategy, but you can also use various weapons to combat them. Here are some general approaches:

Melee Combat: Equip yourself with melee weapons like the Machete or Hammer, available at the in-game shop for 10k to 20k cash. These weapons will appear in your next level; simply pick them up with M1 and swing at monsters to cause damage. Be cautious with ranged attackers like the Huntsman. A hit-and-run tactic is advisable to minimize damage taken, and don't forget to carry healing packs for melee engagements.

Grenades and Mines: Available in the shop, these can be game-changers. To use a Grenade, pick it up with M1, uncork it with E, and then throw it or place it on the ground and move away as it will explode, potentially killing weaker monsters and severely damaging tougher ones. Mines require placement and will detonate when a monster steps on them.

Monster Brawl: You can turn monsters against each other. For instance, bait a Huntsman to shoot another monster by running behind it and making noise, either by walking or using Voice chat mode. Similarly, you can pull Reapers during their attack animation to damage other monsters.

Robe Guide (Ghost)

The Robe, a shadowy ghost, is dangerous on contact. Evade it by moving away, crouching to hide, or kiting it. It's best to avoid melee combat as it deals significant damage. Use 2 Grenades or 2 Mines to take it down by luring it into your trap. Be aware that Robe teleports and accelerates towards you when you look at its mask.

Reaper Guide

The Reaper, a raggedy doll with sword arms, is easier to handle in melee than the Robe. It doesn't teleport, and you can kite it or avoid it. A single grenade followed by a few melee hits can kill it, and grenades and mines will stun it, making it easier to finish off.

Apex Predator Guide (Duck)

These seemingly cute ducks are non-hostile until provoked. They become aggressive if you grab or damage them, flying and biting with low damage but relentless pursuit. Outrun them or use melee weapons to defeat them. Grenades are overkill but effective due to their low HP.

Huntsman

The Huntsman, a blind gunman, can one-shot you. He relies on sound to locate you, so avoid speaking near him on a mic or walking fast. Crouch and hide under tables to stay safe. Melee combat is risky due to his auto-aim capability. Instead, place a mine near his path or throw a grenade from a crouched position. The explosion will temporarily deafen him, giving you a window to attack with melee weapons.
