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

In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, Naoe’s emotional and spiritual journey plays a central role in the game’s narrative. One of the earliest and most symbolic quests, *Before the Fall*, introduces players to Kuji-kiri—a ritual designed to help Naoe confront her inner turmoil. Here’s how to successfully complete the Kuji-kiri sequence and progress through this meaningful chapter of her story.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows: Kuji-kiri Locations

To begin Before the Fall, you must visit four specific locations tied to Naoe’s past. Each site triggers a memory, allowing you to relive pivotal moments that shaped her path.

How to Complete Kuji-kiri

At each of the four sites, you'll engage in a short rhythm-based mini-game. You must press four buttons in a specific sequence and timing as shown on-screen. As the sequence progresses, the visual prompts will fade, requiring you to memorize and maintain the rhythm.

Successfully completing the pattern at each location allows you to relive one of Naoe’s key memories. These sequences often include brief interactive segments that further immerse you in her personal history.

Each completed Kuji-kiri trial rewards you with a Knowledge Point, helping you unlock deeper insights and abilities as you continue your journey.

Completing all four Kuji-kiri trials concludes the Before the Fall quest and sets the stage for Naoe’s transformation throughout Assassin’s Creed Shadows. For more guides, walkthroughs, and updates on the latest game content, be sure to explore The Escapist.
