Use Flash Pod

Doshaguma, despite its massive size, is incredibly agile, capable of jumping and dashing around the arena. This agility makes it challenging to land hits, especially for melee weapon users. A strategic move is to deploy a Flash Pod, which temporarily blinds the monster, giving you a window to attack or even climb onto its back for a more direct assault.

Attack the Legs

Targeting Doshaguma's legs is crucial. The forelegs are particularly vulnerable with a 3-star weakness, making them prime spots for dealing significant damage. While the back legs have a lesser 2-star weakness, the head, also with a 3-star weakness, is another excellent target. Although less damaging, attacking the tail can break it, providing additional monster parts.

Use Fire and Lightning

In Monster Hunter Wilds, fire and lightning are the most effective elements against Doshaguma. Bowgun users should equip Flaming and Thunder ammo. For melee users, enhancing your weapon with fire skill decorations can be beneficial. Focus your fire attacks on the head and torso, and direct your lightning strikes to the head for maximum impact.

Beware of Blastblight

Doshaguma can inflict Blastblight, a status ailment that can lead to an explosion if not addressed. To counteract this, use a Nulberry or Deodorant, or dodge-roll up to three times to remove the effect. Being vigilant about this ailment is crucial during the fight.

Use Traps

The environment can be your ally in this battle. The areas where Doshaguma roams often contain natural traps that can be used to your advantage. Remember to sheath your weapon before using your slinger, and ensure the monster is directly under the trap before activating it.
