How to Beat All Monsters in E.R.P.O.
With new monsters continually being added to E.R.P.O., it's wise to bookmark this page for the latest updates and strategies. Below, you'll find detailed guides on how to tackle each monster, along with general combat tactics you can use:
- Melee Combat: You can purchase melee weapons like the Machete or Hammer from the in-game shop for 10k to 20k cash. These weapons will appear in your next level, ready for you to pick up with M1 and swing at monsters. Be cautious, especially against ranged attackers like the Huntsman. Employing a hit-and-run tactic can minimize damage taken, and don't forget to bring healing packs if you choose this approach.
- 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 to explode, dealing massive damage. Mines need to be strategically placed and will detonate when stepped on by a monster, effective against both weaker and tougher foes.
- Monster Brawl: Use the environment to your advantage. You can trick a Huntsman into shooting another monster by positioning yourself behind it and making noise, whether by walking or using Voice chat. Similarly, pulling Reapers during their attack animations can cause them to damage each other or other nearby monsters.
Robe Guide (Ghost)
The Robe, a large shadowy figure, will pursue you and cause damage upon contact. To evade it, you can crouch and hide, or keep kiting it around. For a more direct approach, lure Robe into a trap with 2 Grenades or 2 Mines. Avoid melee combat as Robe inflicts significant damage, and remember, it teleports and accelerates if you stare at its mask.
Reaper Guide
The Reaper, a raggedy doll with spinning sword arms, is less dangerous in melee than Robe and can be taken down with melee weapons. It doesn't teleport, making it easier to kite or avoid. A single grenade combined with a few melee hits can dispatch it, and both grenades and mines will stun it momentarily.
Apex Predator Guide (Duck)
These seemingly harmless ducks turn hostile when grabbed or harmed. Once enraged, they'll relentlessly pursue you, pecking for minor damage. Outrunning them is your best strategy, but if necessary, they can be killed with melee weapons or even grenades, though the latter is overkill given their low health.
Huntsman
The blind Huntsman with a deadly gun can one-shot you if he hears you speaking in Voice chat or walking quickly. To evade, crouch and hide beneath tables. Melee combat is not advised due to his auto-aim capability. Instead, set a mine in his path or throw a grenade while crouched—the blast will temporarily deafen him, allowing you to close in with melee weapons.
