How to Capture A Doshaguma In Monster Hunter Wilds MHWI

The Doshaguma is a large, fanged beast, so it won’t be that difficult to spot in the Scarlet Forest. They resemble a bear and are very aggressive so don’t expect this fight to go simply. The Doshaguma is weak towards thunder and fire. So, consider getting a Pitfall Trap, Shock Trap, and Flash Pod. These will go a long way to stunning the creature and helping you with capturing it.
It’s weakest point is its belly but if you can’t aim for that area then consider going after its forelegs or tail hair. One piece of advice is to dodge, dodge, and dodge! With all the dodging, it’s understandable why this fight could take a bit of time.
Keep working at it, doing your best to weaken the Doshaguma with all your attacks. Eventually, you will see success! Then afterwards go talk to Erik to get your rewards!
