Forest Doshaguma Walkthrough

Main Objectives
1 Capture a Doshaguma in the Scarlet Forest
Spawn Doshaguma by Changing Environment
▶︎ Monster Hunt: Doshaguma

Erik Character Guide and Location
2
Erik will ask you to help him investigate Doshagumas more by capturing one in the forest. Check your map for any Doshaguma sightings and track that monster.

Note: You'll have to capture the Doshaguma in the Scarlet Forest; otherwise, it won't count for quest progression. If you're unable to look for one, open your map and check your environment overview to determine when one will spawn.
Spawn Doshaguma by Changing Environment
3
Fight the Doshaguma and weaken the monster enough for it to be capturable. You can determine if a monster can be captured by the skull icon appearing above the monster's icon on the map, when the monster is limping away when moving areas, or when your palico cues you that the monster is looking weak.

Spawn Doshaguma by Changing Environment

If you find yourself needing to wait for a long time before a Doshaguma spawns, you can opt to hunt other monsters first, or you can change time via the Rest option in your tent. Using the Rest option will, in exchange for Guild Points, let you alter the time and weather conditions to match the Doshaguma's next appearance.

This quest "Forest Doshaguma" is not a quest that will appear when you are browsing trhough hunts, Erik will give you this quest and in the exploration in the Scarlet Forest you need to capture a Doshaguma and talk with him after, it will not appear as a "Optional Quest", you ned to be in Scarlet Forest and capture a Doshaguma, it works with a tempered too
