Kuji-kiri Locations in Assassin’s Creed Shadows: Before the Fall Quest Guide

In Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Naoe's personal journey is central to the storyline, and the quest "Before the Fall" involves completing Kuji-kiri to help her heal her non-physical wounds. Here’s how to navigate this important part of the game.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows Kuji-kiri Locations

To complete the Kuji-kiri for "Before the Fall," you must visit four specific locations to relive Naoe’s past memories. Below are the detailed locations:

Kuji-kiri #1

Start your journey at the Hideout area. The first Kuji-kiri is located on the east side of the map, near a pond.

Kuji-kiri #2

The second one is just south of the Hideout. You'll find it east of Tennoji Pagoda and north of Makinoodera Lookout and Makinooedera Temple.

Kuji-kiri #3

The third location is at Rolling Glen, slightly northeast of Tennoji Pagoda along the road in Osaka.

Kuji-kiri #4

The final Kuji-kiri is located far west of the Izumi Settsu region. From Amagasaki Tenshu, head west until you reach the area just southeast of Nakayama Peak.

How to Complete Kuji-kiri

At each of these locations, you will encounter a mini-game that requires you to press four buttons in a specific rhythm. Initially, the button prompts will be visible on the screen, but they will gradually fade away, challenging you to master the timing.

Successfully completing the rhythm sequence will allow you to revisit one of Naoe's memories through a short, playable section. Each successful completion rewards you with a Knowledge Point, enhancing Naoe's journey and helping her heal.

By following these steps, you can successfully complete the Kuji-kiri for "Before the Fall" in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. For more tips and information on the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
