Use Flash Pod

The Alpha Doshaguma, despite its imposing size, exhibits remarkable agility, capable of leaping and dashing across the arena. This makes it challenging to land hits, particularly for those wielding melee weapons. To gain the upper hand, employ a Flash Pod. This device will temporarily blind the monster, providing you with a crucial window to launch attacks or even mount its back for devastating blows.

Attack the Legs

Targeting the Alpha Doshaguma's legs is a strategic move. Its forelegs are particularly vulnerable, boasting a 3-star weakness, making them prime targets for inflicting significant damage. While the back legs offer a lesser 2-star weakness, they are still viable. Additionally, the head is another critical area with a 3-star weakness. Though less optimal, the tail can also be targeted; breaking it can yield valuable monster parts.

Use Fire and Lightning

In Monster Hunter Wilds, leveraging fire and lightning elements is key to defeating the Alpha Doshaguma. Bowgun users should equip Flaming and Thunder ammo, while others can enhance their weapons with fire skill decorations. For fire attacks, focus on the monster's head and torso. When using lightning, direct your attacks towards its head for maximum impact.

Beware of Blastblight

The Alpha Doshaguma can inflict the dangerous Blastblight status effect, which can cause you to explode if not managed. To counteract this, use a Nulberry or Deodorant, or dodge-roll up to three times to dispel the effect before it reaches critical levels.

Use Traps

Beyond brute force, utilizing the environment is crucial. The areas where the Alpha Doshaguma roams are often littered with natural traps. To effectively use these, you must first sheath your weapon and ensure the monster is positioned directly beneath the trap before triggering it.
