Use Flash Pod

Doshaguma is an agile beast, despite its massive size. It can leap and dash across the battlefield, making it challenging to land hits, especially for melee weapon users. Utilizing a Flash Pod can temporarily blind and stun the monster, offering you a window to attack or even mount its back.

Attack the Legs

Targeting Doshaguma’s legs, particularly the forelegs, is highly effective due to their 3-star weakness. While the back legs are less vulnerable with a 2-star rating, they're still viable. The head is another prime target with a 3-star weakness. Although less impactful, striking the tail can also yield additional parts upon breaking.

Use Fire and Lightning

In your battle against Doshaguma, fire and lightning are your best elemental allies. Bowgun users should load up with Flaming and Thunder ammo. Enhance your weapons with fire skill decorations for maximum impact. Aim for the head and torso when using fire, and focus exclusively on the head for lightning attacks.

Beware of Blastblight

Doshaguma not only deals physical damage but can also inflict Blastblight, which can lead to an explosion if the gauge fills or you suffer a heavy hit. Counter this with Nulberry or Deodorant, or dodge-roll up to three times to dispel the effect.

Use Traps

Don't just focus on direct combat; make use of the environment. Doshaguma's territory often features natural traps you can activate to your advantage. Ensure your weapon is sheathed before deploying your slinger, and make sure the monster is precisely positioned under the trap before triggering it.
