Use Flash Pod

Despite its massive size, Doshaguma is incredibly agile, capable of jumping and dashing around the arena. This makes it challenging to land hits, particularly for melee weapon users. A strategic approach is to deploy a Flash Pod, which will temporarily blind the monster, providing you with a window to attack or even mount its back for a more advantageous position.

Attack the Legs

Targeting Doshaguma's legs is highly effective, with the forelegs being particularly vulnerable, boasting a 3-star weakness. While the back legs are less susceptible with a 2-star weakness, they are still viable targets. Additionally, the head is another prime spot with a 3-star weakness. Although less damaging, breaking the tail can yield valuable 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, while others can enhance their weapons with fire skill decorations. For fire attacks, focus on the head and torso, whereas lightning attacks should be directed at the head for maximum impact.

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

While direct combat is thrilling, utilizing the environment to your advantage can be crucial. Doshaguma's roaming areas often feature natural traps. Remember to sheath your weapon before using 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 is another option in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. To do this, weaken the monster until its HP drops to 20% 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.

With these strategies in mind, you're well-equipped to tackle the Alpha Doshaguma in *Monster Hunter Wilds*. Don't forget to enjoy a hearty meal before the hunt to benefit from food buffs.
