How To Beat Guardian Doshaguma In Monster Hunter Wilds

As you traverse the mysterious Fordiden Lands within Monster Hunter Wilds, you will eventually stumble upon a novel type of monster yet unseen in the series. These elusive creatures have an extraordinary ability to draw energy from the earth, using it to recuperate and release potent attacks that could prove catastrophic if you’re not adequately prepared.

In your initial battle, you’ll come across Guardian Alpha Doshaguma – a fierce iteration of the bear-like monster from the very first chapter that we clashed with previously. If the enhanced guardian powers of this beast are causing you difficulties, this guide offers effective strategies for tackling this hunt.

Elemental/Ailment Resistance N/A
Best Weapon Damage
  • Slashing Damage
  • Bludgeoning Damage

Against Guardian Doshaguma’s head, bludgeoning damage proves more potent compared to slashing damage. However, everywhere else on this creature, all types of damage hold equal effectiveness. Compared to regular Doshagumas, Guardian Doshaguma exhibits greater elemental vulnerabilities. Among them, ice-type damage emerges as the most advantageous overall.

Best Equipment To Fight Alpha Doshaguma

Best Recommended Weapons
  • Long Sword
  • Great Sword
  • Hammer

Best Recommended Skills

  • Ear Plugs
  • Tremor Resistance
  • Iron Skin

To effectively exploit Guardian Doshaguma’s vulnerable areas, it’s advisable to select weapons that specialize in shattering parts. Consider arming yourself with weapons, armor, and decorations that possess the ‘Partbreaker’ skill. Additionally, focus on weapons with ice-based damage to leverage this monster’s inherent weaknesses.

Just as other Doshagumas, you should seek armor and decorations that provide the Earplug and Tremor Resistance abilities. The Guardian Doshaguma has an acidic spit that momentarily lowers your defense, so it’s beneficial to have the Iron Skin skill equipped to minimize damage when bitten.

Alpha Doshaguma – Fight Breakdown And Moves

The synthetic Guardian Doshaguma shares many traits with its organic counterpart, but there are unique aspects you should take note of. Among these differences, the primary and crucial one lies in the Guardian energy attacks that Doshaguma can unleash.

When Guardian Doshaguma takes in Guardian power, its attacks grow larger and more potent. Whenever it strikes the ground, it generates large blasts nearby, making it necessary to quickly dodge or dive out of harm’s way. These powerful assaults also leave behind crystals composed of solid Guardian energy that can be destroyed by firing slinger ammo at them. This strategy is useful for dealing damage to Guardian Doshaguma when it becomes overpowered and too risky to confront directly.

By taking in the Guardian’s healing energy, the monster’s injuries can be mended. Therefore, it is wise to eliminate any open wounds on the monster before it has an opportunity to regenerate them.

In addition to Doshaguma’s teeth coated with corrosive saliva that weakens your defenses, it can simultaneously spit multiple blobs of acid at you. To counter this, you can either consume an armorskin or adamant seed, use hardshell powder for instant defense boost, or activate the Iron Skill to lessen the impact of the acid.

To effectively tackle this battle, aim for targeting the monster’s front legs until they shatter, which will then reveal a vulnerable spot beneath. Since the monster can attack you with powerful explosions from the front, it’s crucial to stay alert and only attack when an opportunity arises. After the forelegs are broken, the hunt should become significantly easier to complete.

The methods you employed on Alpha Doshaguma remain effective here. Taming this beast is rather straightforward, and it’s advantageous to make it fall over so you can concentrate on damaging its front legs. This monster is also effortlessly controlled with shock traps and vine traps, so don’t hesitate to utilize your items and the surroundings. Given its powerful explosions, it’s wise to avoid engaging this monster in confined spaces, so try to lure it out into open areas if you find yourself in a tight spot on the map.
