How to Beat All Monsters in E.R.P.O.
Given that new monsters are frequently added to E.R.P.O., it's wise to bookmark this page for regular updates. Below, you'll find detailed guides on handling specific monsters. While there are general strategies, you can also utilize various weapons available in the game:
Melee Combat: From the Machete to the Hammer, these weapons can be purchased in the shop for between 10k to 20k cash. They will spawn in your next level, ready for pickup with M1 and subsequent use to damage monsters. Be wary of ranged attackers like the Huntsman. A hit-and-run approach is advisable to minimize damage intake, and don't forget to bring healing packs for melee engagements.
Grenades and Mines: These can also be acquired from the shop. To use a Grenade, pick it up with M1, uncork it with E, and then throw it or leave it to explode for massive damage, potentially eliminating weaker monsters and severely damaging tougher ones. Mines are similar; place them strategically and wait for the monster to trigger them.
Monster Brawl: You can cleverly use the environment and monster behaviors to your advantage. For instance, bait a Huntsman into shooting another monster by positioning yourself behind it and making noise through movement or voice chat. Similarly, you can manipulate Reapers to damage each other or other monsters during their attack animations.
Now, let's dive into the specific strategies for each monster.
Robe Guide (Ghost)
The Robe, a shadowy figure, is dangerous upon contact as it can grab and damage you. To evade it, you can crouch and hide, or keep it at bay by kiting it around. For a more aggressive approach, lure it into a trap using 2 Grenades or 2 Mines. Melee combat is not recommended due to the high damage Robe inflicts. Be mindful that Robe teleports and accelerates towards you if you look directly at its mask.
Reaper Guide
The Reaper, characterized by its ragged appearance and sword-like arms, spins to deal melee damage. While it can be kited like the Robe, it lacks teleportation abilities, making it more manageable. Melee weapons are more effective against the Reaper due to its lower damage output. A single grenade combined with a few melee hits can take it down, and grenades or mines can temporarily stun it.
Apex Predator Guide (Duck)
Despite their adorable appearance, these ducks become hostile when provoked or damaged. Once enraged, they relentlessly chase and peck at you, though their damage is minimal. Outrunning them or using melee weapons to dispatch them is advisable. Using grenades might be excessive given their low health pool.
Huntsman
The Huntsman, a blind marksman, relies on sound to detect you. Avoid making noise by crouching with C and hiding under tables. Direct melee confrontation is risky due to its one-shot capability and auto-aim feature. Instead, strategically place mines around its path or throw a grenade while crouched to temporarily deafen it for 6 seconds, allowing you to close in with melee weapons.
