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

In *Assassin's Creed Shadows*, Knowledge is key to enhancing your gameplay experience. As you accumulate Knowledge Points, your Knowledge Rank ascends, unlocking powerful Mastery abilities. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to quickly amass Knowledge Points in this enthralling journey through Feudal Japan.

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

Your journey to a higher Knowledge Rank involves collecting Knowledge Points, with the required amount increasing as you progress. Fortunately, protagonists Naoe and Yasuke have a plethora of activities at their disposal to earn these crucial points across the vibrant landscapes of Feudal Japan.

To gain Knowledge Points, engage in activities that promote mindfulness or skill acquisition. Below are some effective ways to earn Knowledge Points:

• 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 vary, each typically grants 1 Knowledge Point.

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

The speed at which you can earn Knowledge Points in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* varies with the activity. For instance, early Kuji-Kiri activities with Naoe involve lengthy flashback missions, whereas later ones are shorter. Similarly, some Kofuns are more complex, and the time to complete Weapon Kata and Horse Archery depends on your skill level. However, Temples and Shrines remain the most efficient means to farm Knowledge Points due to their consistent rewards.

How to Grind Knowledge Points in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

While some Knowledge Point-earning activities are specific to either Naoe or Yasuke, both can visit Shrines and Temples. For optimal efficiency, always choose Naoe when farming Knowledge Points. Shrines require praying at designated structures, and Temples involve finding Lost Pages. To maximize speed, use Naoe's Focus ability by holding LT, L2, or your chosen button prompt, which highlights objectives with white or blue dots, guiding you directly to the prayer spots or Lost Pages.

Naoe’s agility and parkour skills, combined with the grappling hook, make navigating these areas and reaching high-placed Lost Pages much simpler and faster than with Yasuke. Beyond Shrines and Temples, continue to engage in other Knowledge Point-earning activities to steadily increase your Knowledge level.

With these strategies, you’ll be able to gather Knowledge Points quickly and enhance your mastery in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.
