Piramide Cestia Romulus Lair: Flags 90-92
This is another Lair where you get 100% Sync for completing it in under 8 minutes. The key observation for doing a speed run is that the shortest path is illuminated by torches. Whenever you come to a fork in the road, remember to "follow the light".
Once again it's possible to collect all three Borgia flags and get full sync on the same run. When I collected flag #92 there was over three and a half minutes remaining on the clock. That's plenty of time to climb the cross, fight the followers of Romulus, and enter the shrine. When it comes to the fight scene, I recommend (quickly) fighting everyone. You can ignore them and make a mad dash for the shrine but you risk getting hit and falling back down to the floor. Better to play it safe and kill them all. 
The first major shortcut I took in this video is at 2:24. I manually lined up the jump and proceeded directly to the exit. If you do it right, Ezio actually rolls out the door. If you're off the mark, try doing a Catch Ledge. There's a safer and obvious free running route but it's kind of slow. My other shortcut starts at 4:02. Most players climb the barrels on the right and parkour across all the platforms in this L-shaped room. None of that is necessary.
There are three Borgia Flags inside each Lair. If you are looking for a specific Flag refer to this index:
Flag 90 - 2:19
Flag 91 - 4:22
Flag 92 - 5:51
And also, you can use Eagle Vision to spot arrows on the walls in case you need a little extra help. I wouldn't mind if someone made this in better quality.

Oh, cool! I always forget to use Eagle Vision in Lairs. Isn't this the one that has symbols on floor like those in Abstergo?

Yes indeedy! I was responsible for that one as well (my most popular video ever!!!). 
Nicely done. Creative shortcuts! 
Thanks, TLS. I consider the first shortcut to be the highlight of the whole video. It's as if Ezio says, "Screw this! I'm getting out of here now."
Also, thank you for pointing out that comments were initially disabled on this story. I want to get to the bottom of why that happens. They're supposed to be enabled by default.

There are a few possible explainations:
1. Ubisoft is messing with you.
2. Abstergo is messing with you.
3. The website thinks your too good for comments (but that would mean the website is alive).
