'''Lock-On''' is a game feature throughout the [[Kingdom Hearts series]]. It helps the player focus on attacking one target and also to help control the game's camera better during combat. The character may jump if the enemy is too high up in the air. However, the Lock-On may wear off if the player gets too far from the enemy or the enemy disappears.
'''Lock-On''' is a targeting mechanism in the ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' series, present in all installments except the original ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]''. While the player will automatically attack the closest available target, Lock-On allows the player to permanently target a single enemy or attackable object, typically signified by the tan targeting reticule turning blue. While locked on to an enemy or an object, the camera will automatically move to follow the target.


==Buttons to activate==
Lock-On is activated and deactivated by tapping {{button|r1}} in ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', tapping {{button|r2}} in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories]]'', and double-tapping R in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''. Switching targets while in Lock-On is done by pressing {{button|r2}} or {{button|l2}} in ''Kingdom Hearts'', by holding {{button|r2}} and moving the right analog stick in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', and by tapping R in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''. <!--switching targets in ReCoM?-->

Lock-On is a targeting mechanism in the Kingdom Hearts series, present in all installments except the original Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. While the player will automatically attack the closest available target, Lock-On allows the player to permanently target a single enemy or attackable object, typically signified by the tan targeting reticule turning blue. While locked on to an enemy or an object, the camera will automatically move to follow the target.

Lock-On is activated and deactivated by tapping R1 in Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II, tapping R2 in Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories, and double-tapping R in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. Switching targets while in Lock-On is done by pressing R2 or L2 in Kingdom Hearts, by holding R2 and moving the right analog stick in Kingdom Hearts II, and by tapping R in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days.

In a number of games, there are abilities that assist or enhance the targeting and Lock-On features. These include Scan, Range Extender, and Auto-Lock.
