Locking on target - when does it work?

[Arikania]

I'm doing the first boss fight in the sewers (with kb+mouse). After the boss hit me, she stands with her back toward him. Locking on doesn't do anything, and I can't turn around anymore because he keeps hitting me.

How am I do defeat that boss?

spam dodge to some direction to get away, then press lock-on key again. it's the scrollwheel on mouse by default i think

It took me some trials, but I got it done with that strategy. Thanks!!

I have another question now, though.

In the sewers, I found a concealed door. When I try to enter it, someone on the other side says he won't let me in because "the monster is still there".

But I defeated that mech boss now, as well as some tentacle monster.

Which monster do I need to defeat now to unlock that sewer door?

And... if I cultivate one branch, are they all cultivated then, or only the one that I cultivated?

in the sewers i don't know. i'm not sure if anything will open it. could be just a random locked door without any purpose.

cultivating branch gives more life dew heals

Idk. It may be a honeypot indeed. But it smells like there's some reward behind it, like a costume or something in kind.

The door is hidden behind a set of boxes, and guarded by one of them white robots, which hyphens my suspicion.
