Any tip on the speedrun for the last mission?
What exactly route could let you finish the mission in 15min?

speed runners haven't got up to the last 4 missions yet, just wait for a solution, or you can spend hours and hours trying and experimenting to figure out a way yourself :P

I did all other missions in the required time, they are relatively easier, but the last mission seems impossible, you will need two minutes or so to set up for the last part, and both path to the chapel is full of guards, my record is 20 minutes, could make it any shorter without a big alteration on my solution. I am looking for tips, maybe there are some easy passage I have missed.

you are definitely very much ahead of the curve, I am missing the last 3 speed runs, got a little burned out trying various stuff and save/reloading over and over,

what strategy did you do for the previous 2 missions? perhaps you could help me instead :P

given that the optimised speed runs are generally much lower than the badge time requirement for all the previous missions, it is not unreasonable to think there ie some obtuse or abstract solution to shave a significant portion of time from the 15:00.

sorry I couldn't be more helpful but like I said you are likely one of the pioneers :P

I did those on beginner difficult, so if you are doing normal or hard, it might not be as helpful

For "las piedras", within the first train, get to the sleeping long coat with kate's bottle, with in the next train, get the poncho on roof as well as a guard near a cart, the go got the disguise(whistle only the showgirl and knock her out), went for the wagon route, for the southern area, firstly take out a poncho with box accident, lure out a gunman with foot print on sand in the southwest corner, and there will be another gunwoman looking for him, whistle into trap, then shoot the poncho patrolling on the roof when he is in the middle of his route where both gunmen on two sides cannot see him, then distract the gunman watching the two guard taking in the west corner, shotgun the two guard, then kill the distracted gunman with kate, place hector on roof whistle and drop kill guards when they are in the unseen corner (several guards can be take out this way), double action on the two highest guard, then most left guard could be easily handled, if you are fast enough you can get it done in 12-13 minutes, the rest would be most straightforward, get everyone in the train.

For "Casa Devitt", it is very easy, get hector and isabelle in, use the cave to move to the other side, kill all/most guards near the wagon, the main idea is to mind control devitt when he moves to the bottom of the party, you will need to take out the two poncho guarding the party entrance and also a guard watching the two ponchos on the second floor, but it is relatively easy, clear out a path to the wagon, then you can get everyone in even without using cooper or kate's skill.

Thank you, I tried your strategy and it was fine, I didn't realise also you can play on beginner mode for badges, it made things a lot easier.

Devitt kidnap mission is incredible easy. You dont need use a distraction. Just clear a left part of the main hall roof and balconies and just mind control Devitt and leave party.

I finish it in 10 minutes. (You have 22 minutes)

Care for some tip for the route please? Thanks!

I suggest to repeat every part of the map over and over until you reach satysfying time with and save game if you are satisfying.

Use rewind button often as you can.
I record some tips for you and upload it here.


EDIT: I recorded final path, replay player show ~16 minutes but only because replay count cutscene time. Real time was 14:35.

Still i can try to record how specific areas was done if needed. Let me know.

It hard to explain how do specific parts so i just record my path, you can find guide here:
