How does lock-on works in DMC3?

[SLITHER]

Why it doesn't lock on to an enemy I want? I'm I missing something about lock-on in this game?

You hold RB to Lock On then press L3 to switch targets also locking on enemies may target the one near you or the one you're facing with

I'm not trying to switch though, I'm trying to lock on to the enemy I want. So it's required that Dante must be looking at said enemy direction? I push analog stick in their direction without actually look at them and it doesn't seem to work.

Did you hold the lock on button? Dante's animation would be pointing the firearm at the target and can only switch during that animation.

I am, but he doesn't lock on to the right target. At the start of Mission 3. I'm trying to lock on to those archers but it keep locking on to other enemies.

Then probably the nearby ones get the target priority

And when I'm fighting Cerberus, even when I'm standing next to its leg, Dante still keep locking on to its heads, I didn't do anything differently than when it actually lock on to its leg, it seem very random.
