How to unlock the Take One for the Team achievement in Knights Contract - Definitive Guide

I got this in episode 9, The Entangled Castle. Once you make your way through the castle into the semi-flooded basement you start encountering spider-like creatures called Arcanids. These creatures will shoot webbing at you or Gretchen that you have to either button press to remove from you, or you have to use your scythe on Gretchen to clear it off.

They also like to pounce on Gretchen (and very rarely on you too) and drain her life. However, I found that if I picked Gretchen up (RB button), that it would virtually guarantee that they would pounce on me, giving me the opportunity for a counter-attack. The achievement popped very quickly thereafter.

This achievement is achieved when an enemy or boss grabs you and you have to rapidly press either the A, B, X, or Y button to get them off of you. You should get this naturally over the course of one playthrough as the bosses tend to grab you a lot.

UPDATE: On the harder difficulties, some of the monsters will grab you and will need to wiggle the Left Thumbstick back and forth to get them to release you. Doing this will also count for the achievement.

Often times, an enemy will grab hold of Heinrich, and you will be prompted to repeatedly press one of the face buttons on the controller, selected randomly depending on the type of enemy. If done successfully, Heinrich will throw off the attacker and perform a counterattack. Repeat this 10 times, and the trophy will unlock.

If you're impatient and want to get this out of the way as soon as possible, you can do this during Episode 4. When you're forced to rescue Gretchen by traversing through a series of caves, head right, where you'll be facing a lot more Wights in this path than you would have had you headed through to the left. Defeat the Hammer Wights, and leave the Sword/Shield Wights alone. Let them slash at you, and they'll eventually perform an attack that you can counterattack on. Counter it by repeatedly pressing . Repeat this sequence via Episode Select if necessary.

Counter strikes for this trophy are meant when an enemy grabs you and the button to spam it lights up, if you manage to press it the required number of times, then you push the enemy aside and attack him, repeat 10 times. It’s convenient to do it on knights with a sword and on spiders, which are in Rapunzel’s castle; the higher the difficulty level, the more enemies will attack you in exactly this way.
