How To Get Knowledge Points Fast in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, mastering the art of acquiring Knowledge Points is crucial for enhancing your Knowledge Rank and unlocking powerful abilities through Mastery. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to efficiently earn Knowledge Points and elevate your gameplay experience in the rich world of Feudal Japan.

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 specific number of Knowledge Points. As you progress, the threshold for the next level increases, but fear not—there are numerous activities for Naoe and Yasuke to engage in across the vast landscapes of Feudal Japan.

Knowledge Points are earned through activities that emphasize mindfulness and skill acquisition. Here are some key activities that will help you gather these valuable 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 in terms of loot and XP may vary, each of these activities typically grants 1 Knowledge Point.

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. For instance, early Kuji-Kiri activities for Naoe involve longer flashback missions, while later ones are more straightforward. 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 means to farm Knowledge Points due to their consistent structure and rewards.

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, Naoe is your best bet. Shrines require you to pray at a certain number of structures, and Temples involve finding a set number of Lost Pages. To maximize efficiency, navigate these areas as Naoe, using Focus (activated by holding LT, L2, or your chosen button) to highlight objectives with white or blue dots, guiding you directly to where you need to pray or find pages.

Naoe's superior movement speed and access to the grappling hook and parkour abilities make these tasks quicker and more accessible, especially for Lost Pages located in high or hard-to-reach areas. Even beyond Shrines and Temples, make sure to engage in other Knowledge Point-awarding activities whenever possible to keep your Knowledge Rank climbing.

By following these strategies, you'll be well on your way to mastering the art of Knowledge Point acquisition in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.
