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

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.

How to Trigger a Power Clash

Doshaguma Attack Patterns

Moveset and Openings

Moves labeled with a shield icon indicate that you can trigger a Power Clash with them. On the other hand, moves labeled with a sword icon indicate that you can counter them with an Offset Attack.

Body Slam
