When Doshagumas are in a pack, use Large Dung Pods to disperse the group so you don't have to fight multiple of them at once.

For survivability, it's recommended to bring healing items like Mega Potions, Max Potions, and crafting materials for Mega Potions. Use Pitfall Traps and Shock Traps to trap Doshaguma and give yourself damage windows.

How to Beat Doshaguma

Doshaguma Monster Fight Tips
Use Large Dung Pods to Disperse a Pack Exploit Its Wounds Focus Strike Its Belly During Ground Break Attack Get It in Turf Wars Initiate Power Clashes

Use Large Dung Pods to Disperse a Pack

Doshagumas may come in a pack, led by an Alpha Doshaguma. To avoid fighting the whole pack, separate the herd by using either Large Dung Pods, Dung Pods, or Luring Pods. Large Dung Pods are the most convenient to use as they disperse the entire pack with a single pod.

How to Separate Monster Herds

Exploit Its Wounds

Doshaguma gets wounded easily the longer you fight it. Make sure to constantly check for wounds and exploit them to constantly flinch Doshaguma. This is especially useful whenever it's aggressive, as that's when its attacks are most dangerous.

Wounding Mechanic Explained

Focus Strike Its Belly During Ground Break Attack

When Doshaguma prepares to do its Ground Break attack, its belly can become a Weak Spot. When this spot glows red in Focus Mode, use Focus Strike on it to stop the attack and stagger Doshaguma.

Be careful as this attack deals a lot of damage to hunters caught in it. Act quickly once you see Doshaguma stand on its hind legs to prepare for the attack.

How to Use Focus Mode and Focus Strike

Get It in Turf Wars

Doshaguma can get into Turf Wars with numerous monsters. Turf Wars often deal significant damage to one or both of the monsters, even leaving them wounded. Take advantage of this once the Turf War ends, but be careful if both monsters decide to stick around after.

How to Start Monster Fights and Turf Wars

Initiate Power Clashes

Numerous of Doshaguma's attacks can trigger a Power Clash, which can be achieved if you do a Perfect Guard against one of its attacks. Successfully doing so will topple Doshaguma and give you a window for dealing additional damage.

Attack	Description
Ground Break	Doshaguma will stand on its hind legs for a long while, before slamming both forelimbs on the ground, causing the terrain in front of it to shatter. Run to the sides or back of Doshaguma to avoid damage. Alternatively, you can interrupt the attack by doing a Focus Strike on Doshaguma's belly once it stands up.
Circular Sweep	Doshaguma will sweep its claws around itself twice. Dodge away from the initial sweep then run away to avoid follow-up attacks.
Claw Slam	Doshaguma will briefly stand on its hind legs and raise one of its forelimbs before slamming it on the ground. Doshaguma can do this attack three times in a row. Roll to the side to avoid damage.
Grab Lunge	Doshaguma will rear up to stand on its hind legs before lunging down to grab you with both of its claws. Dodge sideways or diagonally right before the attack hits you.
Standing Ground Drag	Doshaguma stands on its hind legs before dropping down to scoop the ground and drag it across you. Dodge diagonally towards its back once it stands up to avoid the attack.
Ground Drag	Similar to the Standing Ground Drag, except it stays on all four of its legs. Doshaguma will dig both of its forelimbs into the ground before swiping it toward your direction. Dodge diagonally or backward from this attack before it hits you.
Body Slam	Doshaguma will rear back before leaping and slamming its entire body at you. Start running to the side as soon as you see it rear up.
Charge	Doshaguma will lightly dig into the ground to prepare its charge towards you. Time your sideways dodge right before it hits you.
Small Monster Throw	When near Small Monsters, Doshaguma can grab one of them with its jaws before throwing them at you. Start running sideways once you see it grab a Small Monster, then dodge right before it hits you.
Bite Lunges	Doshaguma will lunge forward with a bite at least two times. Dodge diagonally to the side of Doshaguma to avoid getting bit.
Snout Drag	Doshaguma will dig its snout into the ground before swiping it sideways. Dodge backward from this attack.
Bite	Doshaguma will chomp forward. Move behind Doshaguma's front legs to avoid the bite.
