The Robe is a level 3 Monster in R.E.P.O.. It acts as a very sneaky and deadly monster that can sneak up on semibots.

Appearance

The Robe is a tall creature wearing a black robe. It has a skeletal, round head/mask with two hollow eyes and a large mouth. When chasing or attacking, the Robe reveals its mouth, which is hollow and can stretch to nearly half of its body. It has sharp teeth on its bottom jaw that are visible when it attacks. The Robe has two skeletal hands, which it twitches and cracks when idle, and are used to claw players.

When stunned, the Robe covers its face with its hands. Upon death, the Robe's top half of its head will fall to the ground before vanishing.

The Robe's despawn animation shows that it may have no body at all underneath the black Robe it wears, possibly only having a head and 2 hands.

Behavior

The Robe will roam around aimlessly, occasionally crying and wailing to itself. Once the Robe spots a semibot, it will begin stalking them.

The Robe moves very slowly, but is nearly silent. If the semibot it is targeting looks directly at it, the Robe will speed up drastically, indicated by it hissing and raising its hands. The semibots screen will darken around the edges if it is aggravated towards them. If the semibot looks away, the Robe will return to slowly sneaking towards them.

in the Robe actual attack , it will scream and strike with its hands. This attack deals 100 damage to semibots, and heavy damage to valuables. Upon noticing a semibot in or entering a hiding spot, the Robe will crouch down and attempt to strike under it. This attack deals 50 damage, is more frequent than the normal attack, and stuns the semibots it hits

Tips

• If a player knows a Robe is stalking them, they should not turn around. They should usually try to run around several corners and hide somewhere, as this will cause the Robe to lose interest in them and return to wandering.
• The Robe moves slower than a player's walking speed while stalking. As long as the targeted player continually moves and does not look at it, the Robe won't be able to catch them.
• If players hear the Robe screaming from afar knowing that there are no other players around the location, or if they're playing alone, then it usually means that the Robe is stuck on something that's blocking its way, which could be a big valuable, or even the cart. Players should try to not leave the C.A.R.T. in a place that could block the Robes path.
• The Robe is mostly silent unless if being looked at, attacking something, or making its cry. If players know a Robe is present, they should be very aware of their surroundings to ensure it does not sneak up on them.
• Players should try to avoid hiding when the Robe still sees them, as it will follow them. They should run away and break its line of sight, then hide until it leaves the area.
• Once the Robe starts its crouch attack, it will remain in this state for a period of time; it's possible for players to escape a Robe by simply luring it under a hiding spot that has an exit on the other side, then leaving as the Robe performs its crouch attack with no success.
  • Unlike its normal standing attack, its crouching attack can stun players, and they will be unable to recover fast enough before it attacks again, essentially resulting in them being stunlocked and ultimately killed. If players see the robe attacking another player underneath a surface, they can try to grab and pull them out of danger. If that's not possible, they can also try and find or use something to stun the Robe and make it forget about them hiding.
• The Robe is one of the tallest monsters in the game, and unlike the Loom, it doesn't crouch down under objects, meaning it can sometimes get stuck on roof objects, such as the display screen in the truck. But it can eventually squeeze under some of these objects, careful now.
• The Robe has some difficulty getting onto elevated platforms to attack. If players know they’re being chased by a Robe, they can try looking for an elevated spot that requires jumping up onto.

Trivia

• The Robe has many similarities to the Loom, some major ones include them both being very tall, wearing black clothing, having a mechanic where they slowly stalk players, etc.
