    The quickest way to find 5 riders on horseback is to replay the assassination contract "Serf's Turf." If you can't replay this mission from your DNA menu because you haven't played it yet, this mission is one of the first four assassination contracts available, and it's located in the northwestern area of the Campagna district.

    In this mission, you are tasked with killing 6 soldiers. All 6 spawn on horseback and are clustered together for your convenience. Simply mount a horse (there's one right at the mission start) and pull alongside a mounted soldier, then press X to assassinate and steal their horse. If the remaining soldiers get aggravated and start attacking, ride away a few feet and they will stop chasing you. Return and repeat on the next closest soldier. You should have all 5 for the achievement in less than 3 minutes.

    Note that all 5 riders must be killed in a row without you being dismounted, although jumping off your horse and onto theirs in the assassination animation is fine.

    Scenic Route 16The inconsistent controls in these games are the hardest part of playing them. This is one we’re you’re at the mercy of the game actually doing what you input into the controller and not just jumping wherever it wants.

    This is an alternative to the already great solutions I thought I would share.

    An easy way to do this without relying on replaying DNA memories is to take a horse and ride in a circle around the Colosseum. The Colosseum is unmissable on the map. Keep following the marked road that runs a big ring around it. That road is frequented by horseback guards, civilians and walking troops. When riding, whenever you see a horseback guard, travel in the same direction as him, let him catch up to you so he is beside you and press 'X' with your hidden blade as soon as you see the Assassinate prompt on the upper right hand corner of the screen. As long as you target the horseback guards that are not near ground militia, you should assassinate and hijack them smoothly without ever becoming notorious or under threat. I did this achievement in 2 minutes, due to the sheer frequency of horse soldiers that come ride along that road. Really easy, simple and doable as soon as you are free to access the open Roman lands in the middle of the map.

    As long as you dont assassinate the horseback guard near ground troops or other horseback guards, it should be a pretty effortless achievement.

    napoearthThis was money for me, much easier than doing it while the guards are trying to kill you.

    Moozipan CheeseMuch better than the highest rated solution which recommends you do it in an Assassination memory (which I couldn't get to work at all). Got it within a few minutes with this.

    Saw3d 0ffThe only thing I have to add is that it might be easier to do the assassinations from behind the horseman.

    This is the best method on here.
