Cannot Attack Big Tentacle

Hello there,

This is how the game work on console. When you hit the Big Tentacle the game will switch to the near/new mobs next to you. 

You have 3 ways to deal with this;

1- By killing all the near baby tentacles, to make a way to fight the big one.

2-  Using 5 gunpowder will immediately kill the Big Tentacle.

3- Turing on the Lock-On Target by pressing L3, so it will stay only on the Big Tentacle.

I hope this will fix your problem.

Thank you so much for all of these suggestions!

I found another way that also worked:
If you turn off "Target Locking" in the settings then you can stand next to the Big Tentacle and hit it, even though the "Attack" text doesn't show up.
