Mikolai tells you that it is Zamur's altar and you have to bow in front of the altar. Before that, however, Bibrek also arrives and claims that the altar belongs to Karachin. You may decide to prefer one over one another or you can easily alleviate the tension between themWhich leads to the fact that you could try for you and then decide who the altar belongs to.

Tips for challenges of racing and archery

For horse racing be sure to unlock Horse-race, Wildriderand Last sectionBecause they will help you easily secure your first position. The first two races are relatively simple and short, but the third race has four checkpoints and you have to return to the finish line. The easy way to make sure you don't do the wrong way to the checkpoint is Stay close to other competitors and match their speeds. As you approach the target line, You can speed up your horse and use the final stretching skills to make sure you get the first place.

For mounted archery, all three scores are quite easy to beat. Bibrek mentions that you have to get your horse to set out on the way and not waste time unless you miss a shot. This could work for some players, But the easier method I found was simply slowing down near the goals and ensuring that the shot perfectly hit. This allows you to overtake the score in less than half the time.
