"Quick Tips to Earn Knowledge Points in Assassin’s Creed Shadows"

In *Assassin's Creed Shadows*, mastering the art of gathering Knowledge Points is crucial for progressing your Knowledge Rank and unlocking new abilities through Mastery. Here's a detailed 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

As you advance in *Assassin's Creed Shadows*, the amount of Knowledge Points required to reach the next Knowledge Rank increases. Thankfully, both Naoe and Yasuke have plenty of activities to engage in across the game's vast landscape to earn these coveted points.

Knowledge Points are gained through activities that emphasize mindfulness and skill acquisition. Here are some key activities you can undertake to accumulate Knowledge Points:

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

While the rewards in terms of loot and XP may differ, these activities typically 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 varies with the type of activity. For instance, early Kuji-Kiri activities for Naoe involve flashback missions that are longer due to gameplay segments and cutscenes, whereas later ones are shorter.

The complexity of Kofuns can differ, and the time to complete Weapon Kata and Horse Archery depends on player skill. However, Temples and Shrines stand out as the most efficient methods for farming Knowledge Points due to their consistent availability and rewards.

How To Grind Knowledge Points in Assassin's Creed Shadows

Certain Knowledge Point-earning activities are specific to either Naoe or Yasuke. Fortunately, both characters can interact with Shrines and Temples, though Naoe is the preferred choice for farming due to her advantages.

To maximize your Knowledge Point grind, target Shrines and Temples. At Shrines, you'll need to pray at designated structures, while Temples require you to collect a set number of Lost Pages. To expedite these tasks, use Naoe and activate Focus (hold LT, L2, or your chosen button) to highlight nearby objectives with white or blue dots, guiding you directly to where you need to pray or find pages.

Naoe's superior movement speed and parkour abilities, including her grappling hook, make navigating these areas and reaching higher or difficult spots much easier and faster. Even when not at Shrines or Temples, make sure to engage in other Knowledge Point-earning activities whenever possible to keep your Knowledge Rank climbing.

And that's how to get Knowledge Points fast in *Assassin's Creed Shadows*.

*Assassin's Creed Shadows is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.*
