In High Rank, Doshaguma isn’t particularly threatening. However, given you don’t get access to your own build for this quest, it makes hunting the monster incredibly challenging. Furthermore, you also have to contend with the time limitations for better ranking.
Thankfully, there are ways to make this quest easy and take down the Doshaguma without much hassle. Here’s everything you need to know about the Doshaguma of the Hollow Arena Quest in Monster Hunter Wilds.

The Doshaguma of the Hollow quest can be found under theChallenge Queststab. For those who are new to Monster Hunter, Arena Quests are separate from theAssignment,Investigations, andOptional Quests. Arena Quests in Monster Hunter Wilds work essentially the same way as they did in Monster Hunter Rise. You’re given a specific monster to hunt in the game’s dedicated arena (Wounded Hollow), with specific time constraints. The primary objective of an Arena Quest is to hunt the monster in the most time-efficient manner possible. Furthermore, instead of using your own build, Arena Quests have their specific preset builds and weapons. You cannot use your own custom build for these quests.
Every Arena Quest offers multiple weapon choices. Additionally, in Monster Hunter Wilds, the Challenge Quests offer a custom build for every weapon type. However, it should be noted that you cannot carry additional restoratives, traps, or even consumables with you on these quests.
Tips To Complete Doshaguma of the Hollow Arena Quest
Doshaguma isn’t a particularly challenging monster. However, with a rather rudimentary build that you will have access to for the quest, hunting down a Doshaguma can end up feeling like a challenge similar toGore MagalaorArkveld. However, there are ways to make this quest easier.
Doshaguma is quite weak to elemental damage. Furthermore, it’s also one of the few monsters in the game (akin toChatacabra,Balahara, andArkveld) that’s quite easy to wound. The most efficient way to deal damage to the monster is to create wounds and topple it. Although you won’t have access to traps, you can use mounting and the terrain to your advantage.
Start the hunt with a mount, and perform awall bangto deal damage to the monster and also tenderize its head and back. Do note that Doshaguma’s head and back take extra damage once tenderized. Furthermore, mounting also allows you to instantly topple the monster, which is an easy way to dish out damage. If you’re a melee user, you would want to stick close to the monster’s frontal limbs. Doshaguma has a 2- and 3-hit combo, which is quite easy to perfect guard (Power Clash) or counter using anOffset Attack.
Additionally, the front legs and head are the weakest parts of the monster, which are also the easiest to wound. Additionally, once the Doshaguma reaches critical, it enrages, which automatically creates multiple wounds on the monster’s body. Use this opportunity to immediately retaliate with a Focus Strike. Lastly, make sure to keep your health topped up. Without the food buffs, your defenses will be quite low, and keeping your HP topped up will be quite essential for survival.
Rewards for Completing Doshaguma of the Hollow Arena Quest
Completing the quest within the time limit rewards you with thePinnacle Coin, which can be used to craft exclusive headgear. Getting theBorCrank grants you a single Pinnacle Coin, some Max Potions, and also Demondrug. However, to get more of these coins, you need to get anA rank.
