Battle Dokugumon and its minions in Digimon Survive to progress the story

Dokugumon is encountered in Part 1 of the game inside the abandoned school the kids find themselves in. Aoi, one of the game's characters, has been captured by the monster. The team must find a way to get her back by defeating Dokugumon and its minions. Before the fight starts, a cutscene takes place where the kids weaken the boss using a spirit lamp.

The fight occurs in a wide open arena, and as usual, players must strategically deploy their Digimon's positioning. Agumon and Labramon are key to the fight, so they must be kept alive to progress.

The boss spawns a distance away alongside two minions, in which case it is recommended to take them down one by one by outnumbering each foe. Digimon Survive emphasizes attacks from the back, which does a lot more damage to the enemy. Employ the wide open space strategically.

Dokugumon employs poison attacks and sticky webs, so Agumon's fire attacks should prove handy against the creature as well as the minions. Once the minions are dealt with, and Dokugumon's substantial health pool is brought down to a certain level, this will summon more minions.

However, a cutscene triggers where Agumon evolves into his next Digivolution. Note that this DIgivolution form is determined by the category in which Takuma's Karma is the highest.

If Takuma has the highest points in Moral Karma, Agumon transforms into Greymon. Similarly, the highest Harmony Karma transforms it into Tyrannomon, and the highest Wrathful Karma transforms it into Tuskmon.

Regardless of the form achieved, they are much more powerful than Agumon. March forward to take down the new reinforcements and lay a killing blow on Dokugumon, thus clearing the boss fight for Part 1.
