"Quick Guide: Earning Knowledge Points in Assassin’s Creed Shadows"

In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, mastering the art of gaining Knowledge Points is crucial for advancing your Knowledge Rank and unlocking powerful abilities through Mastery. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to efficiently earn Knowledge Points and elevate your gameplay experience in the rich world of Feudal Japan.

How To Earn Knowledge Points and Level Up Knowledge Rank in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

Progressing through the Knowledge Rank in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* involves accumulating a set number of Knowledge Points. As you advance, the threshold for the next level increases, but fear not—there are plenty of activities for Naoe and Yasuke to engage in across Feudal Japan to earn these valuable points.

Knowledge Points are primarily gained through activities that emphasize mindfulness and skill acquisition. Here are some of the key activities that will help you accumulate Knowledge Points in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*:

• Find and loot the chest at a Kofun.
• Complete Kuji-Kiri activities.
• Engage in Weapon Kata and Horse Archery.
• Locate all Lost Pages at a Temple.
• Pay respect at Shrines.

While the rewards from these activities may vary in terms of loot and XP, they consistently award 1 Knowledge Point each.

What Activity Gets You Knowledge Points the Fastest in Assassin’s Creed Shadows?

The speed at which you can earn Knowledge Points in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* depends largely on the type of activity you choose. Early Kuji-Kiri activities, for instance, involve flashback missions that delve into Naoe's backstory, featuring extended gameplay and cutscenes. Later Kuji-Kiri, however, are less time-consuming.

Kofuns can range from simple to complex, and the time required for Weapon Kata and Horse Archery will vary based on your skill level. Yet, Temples and Shrines stand out as the most efficient means to farm Knowledge Points due to their consistent rewards and manageable tasks.

How To Grind Knowledge Points in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

While some activities that yield Knowledge Points are character-specific, both Naoe and Yasuke can visit Shrines and Temples. However, Naoe is the ideal choice for farming Knowledge Points due to her agility and unique abilities.

To maximize your Knowledge Point earnings, focus on visiting Shrines and Temples. At Shrines, you'll need to pray at a certain number of structures, while Temples require you to collect a set number of Lost Pages. To expedite these tasks, navigate the area with Naoe while holding down the Focus button (LT, L2, or your chosen button prompt). Focus will highlight nearby objectives, making it easier to locate where to pray or find pages.

Naoe's superior movement speed and access to the grappling hook and parkour abilities make her the perfect character for quickly accessing higher areas where Lost Pages may be located, areas that might be challenging or inaccessible for Yasuke.

Beyond Shrines and Temples, continue to engage in other Knowledge Point-awarding activities whenever possible to steadily increase your Knowledge Rank.

With this strategy, you'll be on your way to mastering *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* and unlocking its full potential.
