How to Beat All Monsters in E.R.P.O.
*E.R.P.O.* is constantly evolving with new monsters being added regularly. To stay ahead, bookmark this page for the latest updates and strategies. Below, you'll find detailed guides on each current monster, along with general tactics using in-game weapons:
- **Melee Combat**: Purchase weapons like the Machete or Hammer from the shop, costing between 10k to 20k cash. These weapons will be available in your next level. Use M1 to pick them up and swing at monsters. Be cautious with ranged attackers like the Huntsman; adopt a hit-and-run tactic to minimize damage. Always carry healing packs for safety.
- **Grenades and Mines**: Available in the shop, these can be game-changers. Pick up a Grenade with M1, unscrew it with E, and then throw it or place it to detonate, dealing massive damage. Mines require placement and patience, waiting for monsters to trigger them.
- **Monster Brawl**: Use the environment to your advantage. Lure a Huntsman into shooting another monster by hiding behind it and making noise. Similarly, pull Reapers into each other during their attack animations to cause mutual damage.
Robe Guide (Ghost)

The Robe is a shadowy figure that you must avoid or it will grab and damage you upon contact. Crouching and hiding can help, or you can kite it around. To defeat it, use two Grenades or Mines by luring it close. Melee combat is not advised due to Robe's high damage output. Note that it teleports and speeds up when you look at its mask.
Reaper Guide

The Reaper, a raggedy doll with spinning sword arms, can be managed similarly to the Robe but without teleportation. It's more susceptible to melee attacks, taking less damage to defeat. A single grenade and a few hits can take it down, and explosives can stun it.
Apex Predator Guide (Duck)

These seemingly harmless ducks are non-hostile until provoked. Avoid grabbing or damaging them to prevent their transformation into aggressive pursuers. Once enraged, they'll chase you relentlessly, but their damage is low. Outrunning them or using melee weapons is effective, though grenades are overkill given their low HP.
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. Never attempt melee combat due to his auto-aim capability. Instead, place mines near his path or throw grenades while crouched; the explosion will temporarily deafen him, giving you a window to attack with melee weapons.
