Giant-One

Giant-Ones are Knights of the Underworld that are summoned by King Arthur in Sonic and the Black Knight for the Nintendo Wii. They are first encountered in Titanic Plain.

Description
Giant-Ones resemble giant Soldier-Ones with axes. Whenever the player approaches, it will swing its axe. Should the player run in closer for an attack, the enemy will swipe at the player, lifting his/her character high into the air. In order to break free from the giant's grip, the player must quickly press the Control Stick on the Nunchuk left and right repeatedly until his/her character is dropped. Once defeated, the Giant-One fades, and the player can advance through the level.

An easy way to attack this enemy while avoiding it's grip is to use a Soul Surge.
