Reaching Wyveria in Monster Hunter Wilds means facing Guardian Doshaguma. This Construct-type monster is an enhanced version of the Guardian variant, making it powerful with special abilities. Make sure to beat this with the Monster Hunter Wilds Guardian Doshaguma guide.

Guardian Doshaguma: Location and Characteristics

The final region of Monster Hunter Wilds is in Wyveria where you’ll encounter the Construct monster, Guardian Doshaguma. Its bear-like structures are a frequent sight throughout the area. However, you may not immediately encounter this monster upon arrival. 

You can either rest in your tent and wait to trigger new monster spawns or accept an optional quest. Joining a quest assures you a Guardian Doshaguma appearance, which is a faster but tougher route.

Moreover, the Guardian Doshaguma are monsters that can absorb Guardian energy from the earth. This heals their wounds and helps them enhance their attack capabilities. On the other hand, they are relatively slow-moving monsters with large wind-up animation before attacking. 

What makes them dangerous is their shockwave abilities and acid split that breaks your defense. Make sure that you’re prepared once you’ve encountered this monster. 

Best Equipment and Preparation

Survival against the Guardian Doshaguma needs proper preparation. With Wyveria as the final region in Monster Hunter Wilds, it guarantees the monsters are tougher to play against. So, here are some tips on how you can prepare for your encounter:

Armor Selection

  • You can focus on physical defense-focused gear over elemental protection. It’ll be best to include sets such as Rey Dau, Nu Udra, and Guardian Ebony. 
  • Make sure to upgrade your armor to further boost your physical defense stats.

Weapon Choice

  • Use Ice-element weapons as they are most effective against Guardian Doshaguma. The ice serves as their greatest elemental weakness. 
  • Also, choose weapons crafted from Hirabami drops. 
  • Ideal weapon types will be those that excel at breaking parts like Long Sword, Great Sword, and Hammer. These are all strong choices since it’ll be an important strategy to break the monster’s forelegs.
  • Then, prioritize the following skills when selecting armor and decorations:
    • Partbreaker: Helps break the critical foreleg weak points faster
    • Earplugs: Protects against the monster’s roars
    • Tremor Resistance: Counters ground-based attacks
    • Iron Skin: Mitigates the defense-lowering effects of the acidic spit
  • Gather Slinger ammo before the hunt, as it can be used to detonate the crystal formations that appear during the battle for additional damage.

Battle Strategy and Weak Points

You can’t just attack Guardian Doshaguma to survive the encounter against him. It’ll be best to have a plan beforehand to quickly defeat this monster.

Target the Forelegs

Attacking the front legs of Guardian Doshaguma is the most efficient approach to defeat this. By breaking its limbs, you expose its weak points underneath. So this increases your damage output, tearing the monster apart quicker. However, you’ll need to fight from the front position to attack its limb. Make sure to stay alert and keep quick thinking to counter its attacks.

Guardian Energy Mechanics

Once the Guardian Doshaguma absorbs Guardian energy, its attacks will be more powerful, making explosive shockwaves. After these attacks, it’ll leave crystal formations of the solidified Guardian energy. You can detonate these crystals by using a Slinger ammo which deals impressive damage. It is useful once the direct approaches become too dangerous. 

Counter the Acid Spit

If you happen to get hit by a monster’s spit attack, it’ll lower your defense. The best way to counter this is by consuming an Armorskin Adamant Seed. You can also use Hardshell Powder which will quickly restore your defense. Another option is using the Iron Skin skill to mitigate its effects.

Combat Positioning

Make sure to avoid staying directly in front of the monster once it is preparing for an attack. Use the large wind-ups time to reposition at the back to survive. However, make sure you’re out of line for shockwave’s attack range.
