(5 Not in Video) Yrimir does a similar trick: killing goblins in 40s, off-screen, using waterbolt. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rByh_d8h4cY It can't actually be done any quicker than this, since the limiting factor is the spawn rate = '20' = ~3 goblins/s, with 120 kills to beat the invasion, that's 120/3 = 40s.
