Use Flash Pod

The Alpha Doshaguma's agility belies its massive size, enabling it to leap and dash unpredictably around the arena. This can pose a challenge, particularly for melee weapon users. To counteract this, deploy a Flash Pod to temporarily blind the monster, providing a critical window to attack or even mount its back for further assaults.

Attack the Legs

Targeting the legs of the Alpha Doshaguma is a strategic move, with the forelegs having a notable 3-star weakness, making them prime targets for inflicting significant damage. The back legs, though weaker with a 2-star rating, are less effective. Additionally, the head is another vulnerable spot with a 3-star weakness, offering high damage potential. While the tail is less susceptible, breaking it can yield valuable monster parts.

Use Fire and Lightning

To maximize your damage output, utilize fire and lightning elements during your encounter with the Alpha Doshaguma. Bowgun users should stock up on Flaming and Thunder ammo, while melee weapon users can enhance their weapons with fire skill decorations. Focus fire attacks on the head and torso, whereas lightning should be directed solely at the head for optimal effect.

Beware of Blastblight

The Alpha Doshaguma can inflict Blastblight, a dangerous status ailment that can lead to an explosion upon reaching its full gauge or receiving a heavy attack. Counter this threat by using Nulberries or Deodorant to cure the ailment. Alternatively, dodge-rolling three times can also remove the effect, ensuring your safety during the battle.

Use Traps

Leveraging the environment to your advantage is key when facing the Alpha Doshaguma. The areas it frequents often contain natural traps that can be used to hinder its movements. Remember to sheath your weapon before using your slinger, and ensure the monster is positioned directly under the trap before triggering it to maximize its effect.
