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

In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, mastering Knowledge is crucial for advancing your gameplay. As you enhance your Knowledge Rank by accumulating Knowledge Points, you unlock a variety of abilities through Mastery. Here’s a guide on how to quickly earn Knowledge Points in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.

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

To progress your Knowledge Rank, you need to collect a specific number of Knowledge Points. As you advance, the required points increase. Fortunately, Naoe and Yasuke have numerous activities they can engage in across Feudal Japan to earn these points.

Knowledge Points are awarded through activities that emphasize mindfulness or skill acquisition. Here are some key activities to focus on:

• 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, they generally grant 1 Knowledge Point each.

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

The speed at which you can earn Knowledge Points varies with the type of activity. Early Kuji-Kiri activities, for instance, involve longer flashback missions with Naoe, while later ones are quicker. The complexity of Kofuns and the skill required for Weapon Kata and Horse Archery also affect the time needed. However, visiting Temples and Shrines remains the most efficient way to farm Knowledge Points.

How To Grind Knowledge Points in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

While some activities are specific to either Naoe or Yasuke, both can visit Shrines and Temples. For the fastest Knowledge Point farming, choose Naoe. At Shrines, you need to pray at a set number of structures, and at Temples, you must find a certain number of Lost Pages. To speed up these tasks, use Naoe's Focus ability (activated by holding LT, L2, or your designated button) to highlight nearby objectives with white or blue dots, guiding you to where you need to pray or search for pages.

Naoe’s agility and speed make these tasks more manageable. Additionally, her grappling hook and parkour skills are essential for reaching Lost Pages in high or difficult-to-access areas, which may be challenging for Yasuke.

Beyond Shrines and Temples, don’t miss out on other Knowledge Point-earning activities to keep boosting your Knowledge level.

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