If you’ve played R.E.P.O. for a bit, you’ve probably run into the Yellow Duck, an adorable but ridiculously persistent little pest. But if you’re not careful, this innocent-looking creature can turn into an Apex Predator and make your life miserable. Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered! This guide will show you how to outsmart, defeat, and even profit off this annoying enemy.
How to Kill Yellow Duck (Apex Predator)
You’ll encounter the Yellow Duck on the following maps:
- Manor
- Station
- Academy
At first, the Duck is harmless and simply follows you around. It will stand directly in front of you, even jumping when you try to pick something up, almost like it’s begging to be held. But here’s the catch: if you pick it up or damage it in any way, it transforms into Apex Predator mode and chases you down for about 10 seconds before calming down again.
Once transformed, the Duck becomes significantly more dangerous:
- Speedy & Aggressive – It moves quickly and flies, making it hard to outrun.
- High Attack Rate – It bites three times per second, dealing 10 damage per bite.
- Persistent – It won’t stop until the timer runs out or you take it down.
- Triggered by Damage – Any attack will immediately trigger Apex Predator mode, and it will chase the nearest player.
Now, here are ways you can get rid of this entity!
Methods to Kill the Yellow Duck
There are two main ways to deal with this nuisance:
1. The Safe & Easy Cauldron Method
This is the most reliable way to get rid of the Yellow Duck without putting yourself in danger.
- Trigger Apex Predator mode by clicking on the Duck.
- Lure it toward one of the green cauldrons scattered around the map.
- Jump into the cauldron—the Duck should follow you inside.
- If it doesn’t, click on it again before jumping.
- You might need to sneak while inside to get it to follow.
- If the Duck refuses to enter, click and drag it into the cauldron manually.
- Once inside, the Duck will die, dropping a special item as a reward.
2. The Money-Making Crusher Method
Want to turn this pest into profit? Here’s how:
- The Duck always stays in front of the person it’s following.
- Lure it into an extraction point where the piston slams down.
- Time it right, and the piston will crush the Duck, instantly killing it and rewarding you with $2,000 – $3,000.
If you’re busy looting and don’t want to deal with it, crouch and hide behind a doorframe or in a cabinet. After a few seconds, the Duck will lose interest and wander off.
