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

In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, knowledge is a key driver of your character's progression. As you elevate your Knowledge Rank by accumulating Knowledge Points, you unlock powerful abilities through Mastery. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to quickly gather 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 advances as you collect a set number of Knowledge Points, with the required amount increasing as you progress. Fortunately, Naoe and Yasuke have numerous activities to engage in across Feudal Japan to earn these points.

Knowledge Points are gained through activities that emphasize mindfulness and skill acquisition. Here are some effective ways to earn 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.

While the rewards in terms of loot and XP may vary, these activities 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 activity. For instance, early Kuji-Kiri activities for Naoe involve longer flashback missions and cutscenes, while later ones are quicker. The complexity of Kofuns and the skill required for Weapon Kata and Horse Archery can also affect the time needed. However, visiting Temples and Shrines remains the most efficient method for farming Knowledge Points.

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 a certain number of structures, and Temples involve finding a set number of Lost Pages. To maximize efficiency, run through these areas as Naoe while holding the Focus button (LT, L2, or your chosen prompt). Focus will highlight nearby objectives, making it easier to locate where 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 in high or hard-to-reach areas. Beyond Shrines and Temples, continue to engage in other Knowledge Point-earning activities to boost your knowledge level.

And that’s how to efficiently gather Knowledge Points in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.
