Use Flash Pod

Doshaguma is surprisingly agile for its size, capable of jumping and dashing around the arena, which makes it challenging to land hits, especially for melee fighters. Utilizing a Flash Pod can temporarily blind the monster, providing a window to attack or mount it for a strategic advantage.

Attack the Legs

Targeting Doshaguma's legs is key, with the forelegs being particularly vulnerable, boasting a 3-star weakness. While the back legs are less effective with a 2-star weakness, they're still viable. The head, also with a 3-star weakness, is another prime target. Although less damaging, breaking the tail can yield additional monster parts.

Use Fire and Lightning

In Monster Hunter Wilds, fire and lightning are your best allies against Doshaguma. Bowgun users should stock up on Flaming and Thunder ammo, while melee users can enhance their weapons with fire skills. Aim for the head and torso with fire, and focus on the head with lightning for maximum impact.

Beware of Blastblight

Doshaguma can inflict Blastblight, a dangerous status effect that can lead to an explosion if not managed. Counter this with Nulberries or Deodorant, or dodge-roll three times to shake off the effect.

Use Traps

Leverage the environment to your advantage. Doshaguma's territory often features natural traps. Remember to sheath your weapon before using your slinger to activate these traps, ensuring the monster is positioned correctly for maximum effect.
