"Quick Tips for Earning Knowledge Points in Assassin’s Creed Shadows"

In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, mastering the game's progression hinges significantly on accumulating Knowledge Points, which in turn boosts your Knowledge Rank and unlocks powerful Mastery abilities. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to swiftly gather Knowledge Points in this captivating journey through Feudal Japan.

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

As you progress in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, the number of Knowledge Points needed to advance to the next Knowledge Rank increases. Fortunately, protagonists Naoe and Yasuke have plenty of opportunities to earn these points through various activities scattered across the game's world.

Knowledge Points are primarily earned through activities that promote mindfulness and skill acquisition. Here are some key activities that will help you accumulate Knowledge Points:

• 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 respect at Shrines.

While the rewards may vary, completing these tasks typically grants you 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 in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* depends on the activity you choose. Early Kuji-Kiri activities for Naoe, for instance, involve longer flashback missions and cutscenes, while later ones are quicker. Similarly, the complexity of Kofuns and the skill required for Weapon Kata and Horse Archery can affect the time spent. However, Temples and Shrines stand out as the most efficient methods for farming Knowledge Points due to their consistent nature and accessibility.

How To Grind Knowledge Points in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

While some activities are character-specific, both Naoe and Yasuke can interact with Shrines and Temples. However, for the fastest Knowledge Point farming, Naoe is your best bet. Here’s how to maximize your efforts:

• Head to a Shrine or Temple. Shrines require you to pray at designated structures, while Temples involve finding Lost Pages.
• Use Naoe's Focus ability (activated by holding LT, L2, or your chosen button) to quickly identify objectives marked by white or blue dots.
• Naoe’s agility and parkour skills, especially with the grappling hook, make navigating these areas and reaching high-placed Lost Pages much easier and faster than with Yasuke.

Beyond Shrines and Temples, continue engaging in other Knowledge Point-yielding activities to steadily increase your Knowledge Rank.

With these strategies, you'll be able to gather Knowledge Points rapidly in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, enhancing your gameplay experience and unlocking new abilities to conquer Feudal Japan.
