I messed up the training dummies (glitchy hitboxes), but I have beaten both your times. I went back with my editing software and got a time elapsed ingame of 1:24:91

Just goes to show that there is more room for optimisation, If I had got those dummies perfectly it would be closer to 1:22(ish).

Well... I carried out the aforementioned optimisation and then some extra stuff.

Biggest time save was attacking down on horseback, that means you can go full speed throughout. It is also waaayyyy more reliable than slashing from the side once you get the hang of it.

The hardest bit is getting the on-the-move horseback shot on target, I spent about an hour repeating up to that stage (the narrator's voice gets a bit annoying after a while!) until I finally got that.

Time I measured was 1:16:80.

Good luck beating this!

I joined the discord and asked if an extra category could be added. Fingers crossed!

After watching this some more I think the only time save is moving and shooting at the first part and then, t bagging while doing the final stab on the melee targets to save a bit of time

I see what you mean, but that run was testing my sanity after I tried to get the cav shot on horseback for more than an hour!
I won't do any more attempts until someone beats me :)
