In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, mastering the art of Knowledge is crucial for your progression. As you elevate your Knowledge Rank by accumulating Knowledge Points, you unlock new abilities through Mastery. Let's dive into how you can swiftly gather Knowledge Points in this immersive world of Feudal Japan.
How To Earn Knowledge Points and Level Up Knowledge Rank in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
Your journey to a higher Knowledge Rank involves collecting a certain number of Knowledge Points. As you advance, the required points increase, but fear not, as both Naoe and Yasuke have numerous activities to engage in across the vast landscape of Feudal Japan.
To earn Knowledge Points, focus on activities that enhance mindfulness or teach new skills. Here's a list of activities that will help you accumulate 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, these activities typically grant 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. For instance, early Kuji-Kiri activities for Naoe involve longer flashback missions, while later ones are quicker. Similarly, the complexity of Kofuns and the skill required for Weapon Kata and Horse Archery can affect your pace. However, Temples and Shrines stand out as the most efficient means to farm Knowledge Points due to their consistent structure.
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 you to pray at designated structures, and Temples involve finding Lost Pages. To maximize efficiency, run through these areas with Naoe while holding the Focus button (LT, L2, or your chosen prompt). Focus will highlight objectives with white or blue dots, guiding you directly to where you need to pray or find pages.
Naoe's agility and parkour skills, especially with 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 level.
And that’s how to efficiently gather Knowledge Points in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.
