Use Flash Pod

Despite its hefty size, the Doshaguma boasts remarkable agility, capable of leaping and dashing across the battlefield. This can pose a challenge for melee weapon users trying to land hits. A strategic approach is to deploy a Flash Pod, which momentarily blinds the monster, providing a window for attacks or even mounting its back.

Attack the Legs

Targeting the Doshaguma's legs is a wise strategy. The forelegs, with their 3-star weakness, are prime targets for significant damage. While the back legs offer only a 2-star weakness, they remain viable. The head, also boasting a 3-star weakness, is another critical area. Although less impactful, breaking the tail can yield valuable parts.

Use Fire and Lightning

In Monster Hunter Wilds, fire and lightning are your go-to elements against the Doshaguma. Bowgun users should stock up on Flaming and Thunder ammo. Enhancing your weapon with fire skill decorations can also be beneficial. When using fire, aim for the head and torso; for lightning, focus on the head.

Beware of Blastblight

Doshaguma's arsenal includes inflicting Blastblight, a status ailment that can lead to an explosion if not addressed. Counter this with Nulberry or Deodorant, or dodge-roll three times to dispel the effect.

Use Traps

Beyond direct combat, leveraging the environment is key. The Doshaguma's roaming areas often feature natural traps. Ensure your weapon is sheathed before using your slinger, and position the monster directly under the trap for maximum effectiveness.
