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

In *Assassin's Creed Shadows*, mastering the art of gaining Knowledge Points is crucial for enhancing your Knowledge Rank and unlocking new abilities through Mastery. Here's how you can efficiently earn Knowledge Points to accelerate your game progression.

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

Your journey to increase your Knowledge Rank involves accumulating a set number of Knowledge Points. As you advance, the required points for the next level increase, but fear not—there are numerous activities in Feudal Japan that Naoe and Yasuke can undertake to earn these points.

Knowledge Points are rewarded through activities that focus on mindfulness and skill acquisition. Here are some of the key activities you can engage in to boost your 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.
• Find all Lost Pages at a Temple.
• Pay respect at Shrines.

These activities not only help in accumulating Knowledge Points but also offer additional rewards like loot and XP, typically awarding 1 Knowledge Point per completion.

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

The speed at which you can earn Knowledge Points varies depending on the activity. For instance, early Kuji-Kiri missions for Naoe involve longer flashback sequences, while later ones are shorter. Similarly, the complexity of Kofuns and the skill required for Weapon Kata and Horse Archery can affect completion times. 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 specific to either Naoe or Yasuke, both characters can visit Shrines and Temples. However, for the fastest Knowledge Point farming, Naoe is the preferred choice due to her agility and unique abilities.

To maximize your Knowledge Point grind, head to a Shrine or Temple. At Shrines, you'll need to pray at a certain number of structures, and at Temples, you'll need to collect a set number of Lost Pages. Use Naoe's Focus ability (activated by holding LT, L2, or your chosen button) to quickly locate these objectives, marked by white or blue dots.

Naoe's swift movement and parkour skills, especially with her grappling hook, make reaching high or inaccessible areas for Lost Pages a breeze. Even when not at Shrines or Temples, continue to engage in other Knowledge Point-earning activities to steadily increase your Knowledge Rank.

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