**Updated on April 4, 2025**: *E.R.P.O.* currently features only 4 monsters, but don't let that fool you. This game packs a punch with its array of terrifying creatures. Unlike typical survival horror games like *Pressure*, you're not entirely at the mercy of these beasts. You can fight back with specific strategies and survival tactics. Here's my comprehensive guide to all the monsters in *E.R.P.O.* and how to survive them.

How to Beat All Monsters in E.R.P.O.

New monsters are continuously being added to E.R.P.O., so I highly recommend bookmarking this page for the latest updates. Below, you'll find specific strategies for each monster. Generally, there are several ways to tackle these creatures, including:

• Melee Combat: You can purchase melee weapons like the Machete or Hammer from the shop for 10k to 20k cash. These will spawn in your next level, and you can pick them up with M1 to swing at monsters. Be cautious against ranged attackers like the Huntsman. A hit-and-run tactic is advisable to minimize damage taken. Always carry healing packs for melee engagements.

• Grenades and Mines: Available in the shop, grenades can be picked up with M1, uncorked with E, and then thrown or placed on the ground to explode, dealing massive damage to weaker monsters and significantly harming tougher ones. Mines work similarly; place them and wait for the monster to trigger them.

• Monster Brawl: You can manipulate monster interactions. For instance, bait a Huntsman to shoot another monster by hiding behind it and making noise. Similarly, you can pull Reapers into each other's attack animations for mutual damage.

Now, let's dive into the specific strategies for each monster.

Robe Guide (Ghost)

The Robe is a large shadowy figure. To survive, you must avoid contact as it will grab and damage you. Crouch and hide or kite it around. For a more direct approach, use 2 Grenades or 2 Mines to kill it by luring it towards you. Melee is not recommended due to Robe's high damage output. It also teleports and accelerates towards you if you look at its mask.

Reaper Guide

The Reaper is a raggedy doll with spinning sword arms. While it can be kited like the Robe, it doesn't teleport. It's more susceptible to melee attacks since it doesn't deal as much damage. A single grenade followed by a few hits can take it down, and grenades and mines will stun it.

Apex Predator Guide (Duck)

These seemingly harmless ducks are non-hostile until provoked, such as being grabbed or damaged. Once enraged, they'll relentlessly chase and bite you, though the damage is low. Your best strategy is to outrun them or use melee weapons to dispatch them quickly. Grenades are overkill given their low health.

Huntsman

The Huntsman is a blind gunman who can one-shot you. He detects you through sound, either from your voice in Voice chat mode or fast footsteps. To evade, crouch with C and hide under tables. Melee combat is risky due to his auto-aim. Instead, place a mine near him or throw a grenade while crouched. The explosion will temporarily deafen him, giving you a window to attack with melee weapons.
