"Quick Tips to Earn Knowledge Points in Assassin’s Creed Shadows"

In *Assassin's Creed Shadows*, advancing your Knowledge Rank is crucial for unlocking new abilities through Mastery, and this progression is driven by earning Knowledge Points. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to quickly accumulate Knowledge Points in this immersive world set in Feudal Japan.

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

The journey to increasing your Knowledge Rank involves gathering a set number of Knowledge Points, with the required amount escalating as you progress through the ranks. Fortunately, protagonists Naoe and Yasuke can engage in a variety of activities across the game's expansive map to earn these valuable points.

Knowledge Points are typically earned through activities that foster mindfulness or the learning of new skills. Here are some specific tasks that will help you accumulate 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 respects at Shrines.

While the rewards, including loot and XP, may vary, each of these activities generally awards 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* depends on the activity. For instance, early Kuji-Kiri activities for Naoe involve longer flashback missions, while later ones are more straightforward. Similarly, the complexity of Kofuns and the skill required for Weapon Kata and Horse Archery can affect the time spent. However, visiting Temples and Shrines remains the most efficient method for farming 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. However, Naoe is the preferred character for farming Knowledge Points due to her agility and unique abilities. To maximize your Knowledge Point gains, head to a Shrine or Temple. At Shrines, you'll need to pray at a certain number of structures, and at Temples, you must find a set number of Lost Pages.

To expedite these tasks, use Naoe's Focus ability by holding LT, L2, or your chosen button prompt. This will highlight nearby objectives with white or blue dots, guiding you directly to where you need to pray or find pages. Naoe's faster movement speed and access to grappling hooks and parkour make these activities much quicker, especially when reaching higher areas where some Lost Pages are located.

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

And that's how you can efficiently gather Knowledge Points in *Assassin's Creed Shadows*.

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