R.E.P.O.: Guide to Escaping or Killing All Monsters

In the thrilling world of *R.E.P.O.*, a horror game that has captured the attention of streamers and gamers alike in 2025, players must navigate through a variety of monsters, each with distinct behaviors and weaknesses. Below is a comprehensive guide on how to handle each creature you'll encounter in the game.

All Monsters in R.E.P.O.

Animal

Threat Level: Low

The Animal is swift but poses minimal threat, dealing negligible damage. It's an easy target as it does not retaliate when attacked.

Apex Predator (Duck)

Threat Level: Low

The Apex Predator remains harmless unless provoked. For those seeking to eliminate it for quick cash, luring it to the extraction zone and crushing it under the piston is the most effective method.

Bang

Threat Level: Medium

True to its name, the Bang is an explosive enemy that will rush towards you to detonate upon sighting or being attacked. The safest way to neutralize it is by tossing it into water, lava, or acid, which also allows you to use it against other monsters.

Bowtie

Threat Level: Low

Bowties emit a scream that immobilizes players, preventing movement and potentially pushing them into harmful objects. These slow-moving creatures are defenseless while screaming, making them easy to approach and attack when distracted.

Chef

Threat Level: Medium

The Chef's attacks are predictable; it leaps and slashes with knives. Dodging its attack leaves it vulnerable for a brief moment, offering a perfect opportunity for a counterstrike.

Clown

Threat Level: High

Among the more menacing creatures, the Clown attacks with a height-adjusting laser beam and a melee charge. Its post-laser stun provides a brief window for escape or retaliation.

Gnome

Threat Level: Low

Gnomes move in groups, focusing on destroying your loot rather than attacking you directly. They are fragile and can be dispatched by slamming them against a surface.

Headman

Threat Level: Low

The Headman, a floating head, is harmless unless provoked by light. It's best to avoid shining lights on it to prevent any aggression.

Hidden

Threat Level: Medium

The Hidden, resembling a cloud of black smoke, can stun and disarm players, making them vulnerable to other enemies. Its elusive nature makes it challenging to kill, so hiding is often the best strategy when it's nearby.

Huntsman

Threat Level: Medium

The blind Huntsman reacts to sound, firing a lethal shotgun at any noise. Its predictable patrol route makes it avoidable, but confrontation is risky.

Mentalist

Threat Level: Medium

The Mentalist, an alien-like entity, uses an anti-gravity field to levitate and slam objects, including players. It's vulnerable to melee attacks and can be saved by teammates from its field.

Reaper

Threat Level: Medium

Despite its strength, the slow and deaf Reaper is easy to avoid. Ranged weapons are ideal for safely eliminating it from a distance.

Robe

Threat Level: High

The fast-moving Robe becomes frenzied and accelerates when directly looked at. With high HP, it's best to avoid confrontation and hide until it leaves.

Rugrat

Threat Level: Low

Though seemingly harmless, Rugrat can throw valuable items at players. It requires multiple people to subdue it by slamming it into a surface.

Spewer

Threat Level: Medium

The Spewer chases players to vomit on them, causing damage and affecting nearby players or items. Shaking it off is the best way to make it flee.

Shadow Child

Threat Level: Low

Despite its eerie appearance, the Shadow Child is easily defeated due to its low HP, making it a one-hit kill with most weapons.

Trudge

Threat Level: High

The slow-moving Trudge uses a mace for potentially instant kills and can pull players from hiding spots. Hiding and waiting for it to pass is the safest approach.

Upscream

Threat Level: Medium

Upscreams move in groups, capable of throwing and stunning players. They can be effectively neutralized using a tranq gun, followed by slamming them into a surface.
