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

In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, mastering the game's progression hinges on increasing your Knowledge Rank, which is achieved by earning Knowledge Points. As you accumulate these points, you unlock new abilities through Mastery. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to quickly gather Knowledge Points in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.

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

Your Knowledge Rank progresses as you amass Knowledge Points, with the required amount increasing at higher levels. Fortunately, Naoe and Yasuke can engage in numerous activities across Feudal Japan to earn these points. These activities often involve mindfulness and skill acquisition, offering a diverse range of ways to boost your Knowledge Rank.

Here are some activities that will earn you 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 can differ in terms of loot and XP, they generally award 1 Knowledge Point each.

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

The speed at which you can complete activities that award Knowledge Points varies. For instance, early Kuji-Kiri activities for Naoe involve longer flashback missions, whereas later ones are more straightforward. The complexity of Kofuns can also affect the time required, and the duration of Weapon Kata and Horse Archery depends on player skill. However, Temples and Shrines stand out as the most efficient means of farming Knowledge Points due to their consistent and manageable nature.

How to Grind Knowledge Points in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

While some activities are specific to either Naoe or Yasuke, both characters can visit Shrines and Temples. Yet, Naoe is the preferred choice for farming Knowledge Points due to her agility and unique abilities. To maximize your efficiency at Shrines, you need to pray at the required number of structures. At Temples, your goal is to find a set number of Lost Pages.

To speed up this process, use Naoe's Focus ability (activated by holding LT, L2, or your chosen button prompt) to highlight nearby objectives. This feature marks the locations where you need to pray or find Lost Pages with white or blue dots, guiding you directly to them. Naoe's faster movement and parkour skills, especially with her grappling hook, make reaching higher areas and collecting Lost Pages much easier and quicker compared to Yasuke.

Beyond Shrines and Temples, continue to engage in other Knowledge Point-earning activities whenever possible to keep your knowledge level rising.

With this strategy, you'll efficiently gather Knowledge Points and progress in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.
