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

In *Assassin's Creed Shadows*, mastering the game's progression heavily relies on accumulating Knowledge Points to enhance your Knowledge Rank. These points unlock a variety of abilities through Mastery, significantly boosting your gameplay. Here’s a detailed guide on how to efficiently earn Knowledge Points in *Assassin's Creed Shadows*.

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

Your journey to a higher Knowledge Rank in *Assassin's Creed Shadows* involves collecting a specific number of Knowledge Points. As you advance, the required points for each level increase, but fear not—there are numerous activities across Feudal Japan that Naoe and Yasuke can undertake to earn these points.

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

• 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 in terms of loot and XP may vary, each typically grants 1 Knowledge Point.

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

The speed at which you can complete activities to earn Knowledge Points in *Assassin's Creed Shadows* depends on the activity itself. For instance, early Kuji-Kiri activities involve longer gameplay segments and cutscenes, while later ones are shorter. Similarly, the complexity of Kofuns and the skill required for Weapon Kata and Horse Archery can affect your speed. However, Temples and Shrines stand out as the most efficient means to farm Knowledge Points due to their consistent structure and accessibility.

How To Grind Knowledge Points in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

While some Knowledge Point activities are character-specific, both Naoe and Yasuke can utilize Shrines and Temples. Yet, for the fastest grinding, Naoe is the go-to character. To maximize your efficiency, head to a Shrine or Temple. Shrines involve praying at designated structures, while Temples require finding a set number of Lost Pages.

To speed through these activities, use Naoe and activate Focus by holding LT, L2, or the chosen button prompt. Focus will highlight nearby objectives with white or blue dots, guiding you to where you need to pray or search for pages. Naoe's quicker movement and parkour skills, especially with the grappling hook, make reaching high or difficult areas much easier and faster.

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

And that’s how to get Knowledge Points fast in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.
