In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, mastering the art of Knowledge is crucial for advancing through the game. As you elevate your Knowledge Rank by accumulating Knowledge Points, you unlock new abilities through Mastery. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to swiftly earn Knowledge Points in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.
How To Earn Knowledge Points and Level Up Knowledge Rank in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
Your Knowledge Rank progresses by earning a set number of Knowledge Points. As you advance, the number of points required to reach the next level increases. Fortunately, Naoe and Yasuke have numerous activities available across Feudal Japan to earn these valuable points.
Knowledge Points are earned through activities that promote mindfulness and skill acquisition. Here are some effective ways to gain 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.
- Discover all Lost Pages at a Temple.
- Pay respects at Shrines.
While the rewards from these activities may vary in terms of loot and XP, they 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 type of activity. For instance, early Kuji-Kiri activities for Naoe can involve longer flashback missions and cutscenes, whereas later ones might be quicker. Similarly, some Kofuns may require more effort, and the time to complete Weapon Kata and Horse Archery can vary based on player skill.
However, Temples and Shrines stand out as the most efficient means to farm Knowledge Points due to their consistent rewards and manageable tasks.
How To Grind Knowledge Points in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
While some activities are character-specific, both Naoe and Yasuke can engage with Shrines and Temples. For the fastest Knowledge Point grinding, Naoe is the preferred character due to her agility and unique abilities.
To maximize your Knowledge Point earnings, focus on visiting Shrines and Temples. At Shrines, you need to pray at a certain number of structures, and at Temples, you must find a specific number of Lost Pages. To expedite these tasks, use Naoe’s Focus ability (activated by holding LT, L2, or your chosen button prompt) to highlight nearby objectives with white or blue dots, guiding you directly to the spots for prayer or page collection.
Naoe’s superior movement speed and parkour skills, including her grappling hook, make navigating these areas and reaching high places for Lost Pages much easier and quicker. Even outside of these designated areas, always engage in other Knowledge Point-earning activities to continuously boost your Knowledge level.
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.*
