In *Assassin's Creed Shadows*, Knowledge is pivotal for progression, enhancing your abilities as you increase your Knowledge Rank with Knowledge Points. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to quickly accumulate Knowledge Points in the game.
How to Earn Knowledge Points and Level Up Knowledge Rank in Assassin's Creed Shadows
Your Knowledge Rank advances by accumulating a set number of Knowledge Points, with the required amount increasing as you progress. Fortunately, Naoe and Yasuke have numerous activities across Feudal Japan to earn these points. These activities are centered around mindfulness and skill acquisition, offering a variety of ways to boost your Knowledge Rank.
Here are some key activities to earn 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.
- Locate all Lost Pages at a Temple.
- Pay respect at Shrines.
While the rewards in terms of loot and XP may vary, these activities typically 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 in *Assassin's Creed Shadows* depends on the activity. Early Kuji-Kiri activities for Naoe involve longer flashback missions, while later ones are quicker. The complexity of Kofuns and the skill required for Weapon Kata and Horse Archery can also affect the time needed. 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. For the fastest Knowledge Point farming, choose Naoe. Shrines require praying at designated structures, and Temples involve finding Lost Pages. To maximize efficiency, run through these areas with Naoe while using Focus (activated by holding LT, L2, or your chosen button) to highlight objectives with white or blue dots, guiding you to where you need to pray or find pages.
Naoe's agility and parkour skills, including the grappling hook, make navigating these areas and reaching high-placed Lost Pages much easier and quicker than with Yasuke. Beyond Shrines and Temples, continue engaging 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*.
*Assassin's Creed Shadows is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.*
