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

In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, mastering the art of knowledge is crucial for game progression. As you enhance your Knowledge Rank by accumulating Knowledge Points, you unlock a range of abilities through Mastery. Here's how you can swiftly gather Knowledge Points to elevate your gameplay 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 collecting a set number of Knowledge Points, with the requirement increasing as you progress. Fortunately, Naoe and Yasuke have numerous activities to engage in across Feudal Japan to earn these points.

Knowledge Points are gained through activities centered around mindfulness and skill acquisition. Here are some of the activities that will reward you with 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 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 activities that award Knowledge Points in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* varies. Early Kuji-Kiri activities for Naoe, for instance, involve flashback missions that extend gameplay time due to cutscenes, while later ones are quicker. Similarly, the complexity of Kofuns and the skill required for Weapon Kata and Horse Archery can affect duration. However, Temples and Shrines remain the most efficient means to farm Knowledge Points.

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 grinding, choose Naoe. Shrines involve praying at designated structures, and Temples require finding a set number of Lost Pages. To maximize efficiency, navigate the area as Naoe using Focus (activated by holding LT, L2, or your chosen button prompt) to highlight objectives with white or blue dots, guiding you directly to prayer spots or Lost Pages.

Naoe's agility and parkour skills, including the use of a grappling hook, make these tasks quicker and easier, especially when accessing higher areas where some Lost Pages may be located. Even beyond Shrines and Temples, engage in other Knowledge Point-earning activities whenever possible to continually boost your knowledge level.

That's the most effective way to accumulate Knowledge Points quickly in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.

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