Use Flash Pod

Doshaguma's agility belies its massive frame, enabling it to leap and dash around the battlefield. This can pose a significant challenge for melee weapon users. To gain an advantage, deploy a Flash Pod to temporarily blind the monster. This brief window allows you to land critical hits or even mount the creature for additional attacks.

Attack the Legs

Focus your attacks on Doshaguma's legs, particularly the forelegs, which have a 3-star weakness. While the back legs are less vulnerable with a 2-star weakness, they still offer a viable target. The head, also boasting a 3-star weakness, is another prime spot for dealing substantial damage. If you aim for the tail, remember it can be broken, yielding valuable parts.

Use Fire and Lightning

In your battle against Doshaguma, utilize fire and lightning elements for maximum effectiveness. Bowgun users should load up on Flaming and Thunder ammo, while melee fighters can enhance their weapons with fire-related decorations. Aim for the head and torso when using fire, but target the head exclusively with lightning attacks to exploit its weaknesses.

Beware of Blastblight

Doshaguma can inflict Blastblight, a dangerous status effect that leads to an explosion if not addressed. Counter this by consuming Nulberries or using Deodorant. Alternatively, you can remove the effect by performing three dodge rolls in succession.

Use Traps

Leverage the environment in your fight against Doshaguma. The areas it frequents often contain natural traps that can be used to your advantage. Remember to sheathe your weapon before activating your slinger, and ensure the monster is positioned correctly before triggering the trap.

How to Capture Doshaguma in Monster Hunter Wilds

Capturing Doshaguma alive is another strategic option in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. To do this, reduce its health to 20% or below. Then, set up a Shock or Pitfall Trap in its path.
