How to unlock the Gigantic Allies achievement in Narnia Prince Caspian - Definitive Guide
This level doesn't really require a solution; it's pretty easy.
Your first objective is to free the giant from the archers who are restraining him by throwing barrels and crates from the balcony onto the attackers (who have tethered him).
I used the minotaur and not sure if your companion can even lift the barrel. Approach the barrel, tap B to pick up, face the direction of throw, tap A to launch. Repeat. You can clear the restraining Telmarine's in as few as two tosses. Also, it seems you just need to clear the Telmarines from one side of the giant.
Once you do that, you get a cutscene and are then riding the giant on the battlefield. I headed to the right to start with.
Break the barricades using the A attack (this is the "big" attack where the giant hammers the ground). After the barricades fall apart, advance and continue to hit A. As you get closer to attackers some will try to flee. If you're quick, you can clear the field to 10 attackers after wiping out the archers from this side of the field.
Next, move toward the other side (to the left on screen). You'll come to another barricade and, after smashing it, can find another hammer on the ground. Not sure if this is better than what you have, but it's not "magical" (doesn't glow). By this time, your partner may be tethered by Telmarines who will harrass you until you clear the area.
I recommend continuing to use the big ('A') attack and smash the ground or Telmarines holding back your partner. Now continue to the other line of archers.
Note: they're standing behind a ring of fire (as the first line did) but that doesn't seem to hurt or hinder the giant. Just move forward slowly and continue to smash the ground. If you move in quickly, you stand a good chance of having archers race around you and then you have to scour the field looking for them before the level can end.
