---------------------------------------------------------------

- Known Habitats: Windward Plains, Scarlet Forest, Ruins of Wyveria
- Breakable Parts: Tail and Forelegs
- Recommended Elemental Attacks: Fire and Lightning

- Effective Items: Flash Pod, Shock Trap, Pitfall Trap
Utilizing Flash Pods
Doshaguma's agility belies its size; it leaps and dashes, making it a challenging target, especially for melee fighters. A Flash Pod temporarily stuns it, providing a crucial window for attacks or even mounting.
Strategic Targeting: Legs and Head
Prioritize Doshaguma's forelegs (3-star weakness) for maximum damage. While its hind legs offer a 2-star weakness, they're less effective. The head also boasts a 3-star weakness. Breaking its tail, though less damaging, yields valuable materials.
Elemental Advantage: Fire and Lightning
Fire and lightning are your best elemental allies. Bowgun users should stock up on Flaming and Thunder ammo. Weapon decorations enhancing fire skills are also highly recommended. Focus fire attacks on the head and torso; lightning attacks are most effective against the head.
Blastblight Awareness
Doshaguma inflicts Blastblight, causing explosions if the gauge fills or you suffer a heavy attack. Counter this with Nulberries, Deodorant, or by executing up to three dodge rolls.
Environmental Traps
Don't underestimate the environment. Doshaguma's stomping grounds often contain natural traps. Remember to sheath your weapon before using your slinger and position the trap strategically beneath the monster. Lure it if necessary.

Capturing Doshaguma
Instead of slaying Doshaguma, consider capturing it. Reduce its HP to 20% or less, then deploy a Shock or Pitfall Trap. Lure it into the trap using Luring Ammo or meat. Once trapped, tranquilize it (multiple shots may be needed).
Before embarking on this hunt, enjoy a hearty meal for beneficial buffs. Remember to prepare and strategize!
Monster Hunter Wilds is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
