Despite its large size, Doshaguma is incredibly agile, capable of leaping and dashing around the arena. This makes it a challenging target, particularly for melee weapon users. To counter this, use a Flash Pod to temporarily blind and stun the monster. This brief window allows you to land critical hits or even climb onto its back for a strategic advantage.
Attack the Legs
Targeting Doshaguma's legs is a smart strategy. The forelegs boast a 3-star weakness, making them highly vulnerable to damage, whereas the back legs have a lesser 2-star weakness. The head is another prime target with a 3-star weakness. While the tail has a lower damage susceptibility, breaking it can yield valuable monster parts.
Use Fire and Lightning
In your battle against Doshaguma, leverage fire and lightning elements for maximum effect. Bowgun users should equip Flaming and Thunder ammo. Enhancing your weapon with fire skill decorations can also be beneficial. For fire attacks, focus on the head and torso, while lightning attacks should be directed at the head for optimal damage.
Beware of Blastblight
Doshaguma not only deals physical damage but can also inflict Blastblight, a status ailment that can lead to an explosion if not managed. Counter this by using Nulberry or Deodorant, or by dodge-rolling three times to remove the effect.
Use Traps
Utilize the environment to your advantage. The areas where Doshaguma roams often have natural traps. Remember to sheath your weapon before using your slinger and ensure the monster is positioned correctly before activating the trap.

Guide Doshaguma into the trap using Luring Ammo or meat as bait if necessary. Once trapped, quickly use tranquilizer shots, possibly multiple times, to ensure the monster falls asleep.
