Monster Hunter Wildstakes you to the Forbidden Island, a place considered uninhabited by humans. But as the guild arrives there, it finds not only humans but a variety of monsters as well. As you progress, you’ll encounter many side quests to do alongside the main story.

The Forest Doshaguma is a side quest given to you by Erik. Unlike most other quests, this one is unique as it requires you to capture a monster instead of hunting them down. While capturing the Doshaguma is one thing, finding one can be a challenge, too, if you’re not lucky.
