"Quick Tips for Earning Knowledge Points in Assassin’s Creed Shadows"

In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, Knowledge is key to enhancing your gameplay and unlocking powerful abilities through Mastery. As you progress and earn Knowledge Points, your Knowledge Rank will increase, opening up new skills and upgrades. Here's how you can efficiently gather Knowledge Points to level up your Knowledge Rank in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.

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

Your Knowledge Rank advances by accumulating a set number of Knowledge Points, and the threshold for the next level increases as you progress. Fortunately, there are numerous activities that Naoe and Yasuke can undertake across Feudal Japan to earn these points.

Knowledge Points are gained through activities that emphasize mindfulness or skill acquisition. Here are some of the ways you can earn 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.
• Discover all Lost Pages at a Temple.
• Pay respect at Shrines.

While the rewards in terms of loot and XP may differ, these activities typically grant 1 Knowledge Point each.

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

The speed at which you can complete Knowledge Point-earning activities in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* varies. For instance, early Kuji-Kiri activities for Naoe involve longer gameplay segments and cutscenes that reveal her backstory, whereas later ones are shorter. The complexity of Kofuns and the skill required for Weapon Kata and Horse Archery also affect completion times. However, visiting Temples and Shrines remains the most efficient method for farming Knowledge Points due to their consistent structure.

How To Grind Knowledge Points in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

While some activities are character-specific, both Naoe and Yasuke can visit Shrines and Temples. For the fastest Knowledge Point farming, however, Naoe is the preferred character. To maximize your efficiency:

• Head to a Shrine or Temple.
• At Shrines, pray at the required structures.
• At Temples, find the set amount of Lost Pages.
• Use Naoe's Focus ability (hold LT, L2, or your chosen button) to highlight objectives with white or blue dots, guiding you to where you need to pray or find pages.

Naoe's superior movement speed and parkour abilities, especially with her grappling hook, make these tasks much quicker and easier compared to Yasuke, particularly for reaching high or difficult areas where Lost Pages might be located.

Beyond Shrines and Temples, make sure to engage in other Knowledge Point-earning activities whenever possible to steadily increase your Knowledge level.

By following these strategies, you'll be able to gather Knowledge Points quickly and efficiently in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.
