How to Capture and Beat Doshaguma/Alpha Doshaguma in Monster Hunter Wilds

While monsters typically prefer the wilds, their rampages sometimes lead them to attack villages. In Monster Hunter Wilds, you'll face off against the formidable Alpha Doshaguma.

Doshaguma Details:

• Known Habitats: Windward Plains, Scarlet Forest, Ruins of Wyveria
• Breakable Parts: Tail and Forelegs
• Recommended Elemental Attacks: Fire and Lightning
• Effective Status Effects: Poison (2x), Sleep (2x), Paralysis (2x), Blastblight (2x), Stun (2x), Exhaust (2x)
• Effective Items: Flash Pod, Shock Trap, Pitfall Trap

Using Flash Pods

Despite its size, Doshaguma is surprisingly agile, making it a challenging target for melee users. Flash Pods provide a crucial advantage, temporarily blinding the monster and creating an opening for attacks or even mounting.

Strategic Targeting

Prioritize attacking Doshaguma's forelegs (3-star weakness) for maximum damage. While the hind legs offer a 2-star weakness, they're less effective. The head also presents a 3-star weakness, while the tail, though less damaging, is breakable for extra materials.

Elemental Advantages

Fire and Lightning are the most effective elements against Doshaguma. Bowgun users should utilize Flaming and Thunder ammo, while melee users can enhance their weapons with fire-based decorations. For fire attacks, target the head and torso; for lightning, focus on the head.

Blastblight Awareness

Doshaguma inflicts Blastblight, causing explosions if the gauge fills or you receive a heavy hit. Counter this with Nulberries, Deodorant, or by performing up to three dodge rolls.

Trap Utilization

Utilize environmental traps to your advantage. Remember to sheath your weapon before using your slinger, ensuring the monster is directly above the trap before activating it.

Capturing Doshaguma

To capture Doshaguma, reduce its HP to 20% or less. Set a Shock or Pitfall Trap, then lure the weakened monster into it using Luring Ammo or meat. Once trapped, repeatedly use tranquilizer ammo to subdue it.

Remember to eat a hearty meal for beneficial food buffs before engaging Doshaguma. Good luck, hunter!
