Use Flash Pod

Despite its massive size, Doshaguma is incredibly agile, capable of jumping and dashing around the arena. This makes it a challenging target, especially for melee weapon users. To gain the upper hand, utilize a Flash Pod to temporarily blind the monster. This brief window of opportunity allows you to land critical hits or even mount the beast for a strategic advantage.

Attack the Legs

Focus your attacks on Doshaguma's legs, particularly the forelegs, which have a 3-star weakness, making them highly susceptible to damage. While the back legs are less vulnerable with a 2-star weakness, they are still viable targets. Additionally, the head is another prime spot with a 3-star weakness. Although less effective, targeting the tail can also yield rewards by breaking it and obtaining additional monster parts.

Use Fire and Lightning

In your battle against Doshaguma, leverage the power of fire and lightning elements. Bowgun users should equip Flaming and Thunder ammo, while melee weapon users can enhance their weapons with fire skill decorations. Aim for the head and torso when using fire attacks, and focus solely on the head for lightning strikes to maximize damage.

Beware of Blastblight

Doshaguma can inflict Blastblight, a dangerous 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 before it becomes critical.

Use Traps

Don't overlook the environment in your fight against Doshaguma. The areas where it roams often contain natural traps that can be used to your advantage. Remember to sheath your weapon before deploying your slinger and ensure the monster is positioned directly under the trap before activating it.

How to Capture Doshaguma in Monster Hunter Wilds

Capturing Doshaguma alive in *Monster Hunter Wilds* is a rewarding challenge. To do so, weaken the monster until its HP drops to 20 percent or less. Then, set up a Shock or Pitfall Trap in its path. If the monster isn't focused on you, use Luring Ammo or place meat as bait to draw it into the trap. Once trapped, quickly administer tranquilizers, possibly multiple times, to ensure the beast falls asleep and can be captured.

Armed with these strategies, you're now ready to face the Alpha Doshaguma in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. Don't forget to enjoy a hearty meal before the hunt to benefit from food buffs, enhancing your chances of success.
