How to Beat All Monsters in E.R.P.O.
New monsters are frequently added to E.R.P.O., so it's wise to bookmark this page for the latest updates. Below, you'll find detailed guides on how to tackle each specific monster. While there are general strategies, you can also use various weapons to combat them:
Melee Combat: From the Machete to the Hammer, these 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. A hit-and-run tactic is advisable to minimize damage, and don't forget to bring 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, ideal for ambushing monsters.
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 for mutual damage.
Robe Guide (Ghost)

The Robe, a shadowy ghost, is dangerous upon contact. To survive, either crouch and hide or keep moving to avoid its grasp. It's best to use 2 Grenades or 2 Mines to take it down, as melee combat is risky due to its high damage output. 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. It can be kited or avoided, and unlike the Robe, it doesn't teleport. Melee weapons are effective against it, and it can be stunned with grenades or mines, making it easier to finish off with a few hits.
Apex Predator Guide (Duck)

These seemingly harmless ducks are non-hostile until provoked. If you grab or damage them, they become aggressive, flying and biting with low damage but relentless pursuit. Outrunning them or using melee weapons is your best strategy. Grenades are overkill given their low health.
Huntsman

The Huntsman, a blind marksman, can one-shot you with his gun. He relies on sound, so stay silent and crouch to avoid detection. Avoid melee combat due to his auto-aim capability. Instead, use mines or grenades to stun him, then quickly move in with melee weapons while he's disoriented.
