How to lock on to enemies in Kena: Bridge of Spirits

While Kena: Bridge of Spirits made a name for itself at the PlayStation 5 reveal event, fans have been eagerly awaiting the first game from Ember Lab. While the game is as beautiful as fans expected, it's also surprisingly difficult. Learning how to handle combat is integral to success, and that means getting a grasp on critical mechanics like the lock-on.

To lock on to enemies, face an enemy and click the right stick (R3) down to choose Kena's target, allowing the camera to follow the corrupted spirits found on Kena's adventure, helping her track their movement. Players can unlock an enemy by pressing the stick again.

With a surprisingly challenging combat system, players ought to make the most of their tools in battle. Kena's kit allows for player flexibility, but getting a grasp of the basic mechanics, like locking on, is crucial to dealing with baddies. Locking on is especially helpful for some spirits that are quick on their feet and hard to track without this mechanic.
