Use Flash Pod

Doshaguma is surprisingly agile for its massive size, capable of swift jumps and dashes that can make it a challenging target, especially for melee weapon users. To counter this, deploy a Flash Pod to temporarily blind and stun the monster, providing you with a window to attack or even mount its back.

Attack the Legs

Focus your attacks on Doshaguma's legs. The forelegs are particularly vulnerable with a 3-star weakness, making them prime targets for damage. The back legs, with only a 2-star weakness, are less effective but still viable. Additionally, targeting the head, which also has a 3-star weakness, can yield significant results. While less damaging, breaking the tail can also be beneficial for gathering additional monster parts.

Use Fire and Lightning

In your battle against Doshaguma, leverage fire and lightning elements for maximum effectiveness. Bowgun users should equip Flaming and Thunder ammo, while others can enhance their weapons with fire skill decorations. Aim fire attacks at the head and torso, but focus lightning attacks solely on the head for the best impact.

Beware of Blastblight

Be cautious of Doshaguma's ability to inflict Blastblight, a status ailment that can lead to an explosion if not addressed. Counter this by using Nulberries or Deodorant, or by dodge-rolling up to three times to dispel the effect.

Use Traps

Utilize the environment to your advantage. The areas where Doshaguma roams often feature natural traps that can be used to hinder it. Remember to sheath your weapon before using your slinger and ensure the monster is directly under the trap before activating it.

How to Capture Doshaguma in Monster Hunter Wilds

If you prefer capturing Doshaguma instead of slaying it, reduce its HP to below 20 percent. Then, set up a Shock or Pitfall Trap and lure the monster into it using Luring Ammo or meat as bait. Once trapped, quickly administer tranquilizers until the monster falls asleep.
