How to Beat All Monsters in E.R.P.O.
------------------------------------As E.R.P.O. continues to evolve with new monster additions, it's a good idea to bookmark this page for regular updates. Below, you'll find detailed guides on how to tackle each specific monster, along with general strategies to enhance your survival chances. Here are some universal approaches:
Melee Combat: Equip yourself with melee weapons like the Machete or Hammer, available in the shop for 10k to 20k cash. These will spawn in your next level, ready for you to pick up with M1 and swing at monsters. However, be cautious, especially against ranged attackers like the Huntsman. Employ a hit-and-run strategy to minimize damage, and always carry healing packs for safety.
Explosives: Stock up on Grenades and Mines from the shop. To use a Grenade, pick it up with M1, uncork it with E, and throw it or set it down to let it explode, dealing significant damage. Mines require placement and patience; once a monster steps on one, it's in for a surprise.
Monster Brawl: Use the environment to your advantage. Lure a Huntsman into firing at another monster by positioning yourself behind it and making noise, either by walking or using Voice chat mode. Similarly, you can drag Reapers into each other during their attack animations for mutual damage.
Robe Guide (Ghost)

The Robe, a shadowy figure, is dangerous upon contact. Your best bet is to either hide by crouching or keep moving to avoid its grasp. It teleports and accelerates when you look at its mask, so use caution. Bait it into a trap with 2 Grenades or Mines, as melee combat is risky due to its high damage output.
Reaper Guide

The Reaper, recognizable by its ragged appearance and sword-like arms, spins to attack. It's less lethal than the Robe in melee combat, making it more manageable with melee weapons. A single grenade combined with a few hits can take it down, and explosives also serve to stun it, giving you a tactical edge.
Apex Predator Guide (Duck)

These seemingly harmless ducks are only a threat when provoked, such as by grabbing or damaging them. When enraged, they pursue relentlessly, dealing minimal damage but never giving up the chase. Opt for outrunning them or using melee weapons to dispatch them quickly. Grenades are overkill given their low health.
Huntsman

The Huntsman is a blind marksman who can one-shot you. He relies on sound, triggered by fast movement or voice chat nearby. Stay quiet and crouch to avoid detection. Avoid direct confrontation; instead, strategically place a mine or throw a grenade from a safe distance. The ensuing explosion will temporarily deafen him, allowing you to close in with melee weapons.
