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

Conquering the Alpha Doshaguma in Monster Hunter Wilds: A Comprehensive Guide

While monsters typically inhabit the wilderness, occasional village attacks necessitate strategic combat. This guide focuses on defeating the formidable Alpha Doshaguma in Monster Hunter Wilds.

Doshaguma Overview:

• Habitats: Windward Plains, Scarlet Forest, Ruins of Wyveria
• Weaknesses:
  • Breakable Parts: Tail and Forelegs
  • Elemental Attacks: Fire and Lightning
  • Status Effects: Poison (2x), Sleep (2x), Paralysis (2x), Blastblight (2x), Stun (2x), Exhaust (2x)

Combat Strategies:

• Flash Pods: Utilize Flash Pods to temporarily blind the agile Doshaguma, creating openings for attacks or mounting opportunities.

• Strategic Targeting: Prioritize attacks on the forelegs (3-star weakness) for maximum damage. The head (3-star weakness) is another excellent target. While less effective, the tail can be broken for additional materials.

• Elemental Advantage: Exploit Doshaguma's vulnerability to fire and lightning. Bowgun users should utilize Flaming and Thunder ammo; melee combatants should equip fire-enhancing decorations. Focus fire attacks on the head (lightning) or head and torso (fire).

• Blastblight Mitigation: Doshaguma inflicts Blastblight, potentially causing self-destruction. Counter this with Nulberries, Deodorant, or by performing up to three consecutive dodge rolls.

• Environmental Traps: Leverage the environment's natural traps. Remember to sheath your weapon before using your slinger to activate the traps.

Capture Technique:

Capturing Doshaguma offers an alternative to outright combat. Reduce its HP to 20% or less, then strategically place Shock or Pitfall Traps. Lure the Doshaguma into the trap using Luring Ammo or meat bait. Once trapped, utilize tranquilizer ammo to subdue the creature (multiple shots may be necessary).

Preparation is Key: Before engaging Doshaguma, consume a hearty meal to enhance your hunter's capabilities.
