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

In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, mastering the art of gaining Knowledge Points is crucial for advancing your Knowledge Rank and unlocking powerful abilities through Mastery. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to swiftly accumulate Knowledge Points in the immersive world of Feudal Japan.

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

As you progress through the game, your Knowledge Rank will increase as you gather the required amount of Knowledge Points. The number of points needed to reach the next level escalates with each rank, but fear not—there are numerous activities that Naoe and Yasuke can engage in to earn these valuable points across the rich landscapes of Feudal Japan.

To earn Knowledge Points, focus on activities that enhance mindfulness or teach new skills. Here are some effective ways to boost your 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.

These activities typically award 1 Knowledge Point, although the loot and XP gains may vary.

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. For instance, early Kuji-Kiri activities involve longer flashback missions that reveal Naoe's backstory, while later ones are more straightforward. Kofuns can range in complexity, and the time to complete Weapon Kata and Horse Archery varies with player skill. However, Temples and Shrines stand out as the most efficient means of farming Knowledge Points due to their consistent rewards and accessibility.

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 grinding, always choose Naoe. Shrines require you to pray at a specific number of structures, and Temples task you with finding a set number of Lost Pages. To maximize efficiency, navigate these areas as Naoe while holding down the Focus button (LT, L2, or your chosen prompt). Focus will highlight nearby objectives with a white or blue dot, guiding you directly to where you need to pray or search for pages.

Naoe’s superior movement speed and parkour abilities, including her grappling hook, make reaching high or difficult areas much easier and quicker compared to Yasuke. This is particularly advantageous when retrieving Lost Pages in Temples. Even when not at Shrines or Temples, make sure to participate in other Knowledge Point-awarding activities whenever possible to steadily increase your Knowledge level.

And that’s how to get Knowledge Points fast in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. Immerse yourself in the world of Feudal Japan and elevate your gameplay with these strategic tips.
