In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, knowledge is power, and your journey through Feudal Japan hinges on your ability to accumulate Knowledge Points and elevate your Knowledge Rank. These points not only unlock new abilities through Mastery but also enhance your overall gameplay experience. 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 in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* advances by accumulating Knowledge Points, with the required amount increasing as you level up. Fortunately, both Naoe and Yasuka can engage in various activities across Feudal Japan to earn these valuable points. Here are some key activities designed to enhance your knowledge and mindfulness:
- Find and loot the chest at a Kofun.
- Complete Kuji-Kiri activities.
- Master Weapon Kata and Horse Archery.
- Discover all Lost Pages at a Temple.
- Pay respect at Shrines.
Each of these activities generally rewards you with 1 Knowledge Point, though the exact 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 with Naoe might involve longer flashback missions, whereas later ones are quicker. The complexity of Kofuns and the skill required for Weapon Kata and Horse Archery also affect the time investment. However, Temples and Shrines stand out as the most efficient means to farm Knowledge Points due to their consistent availability and rewards.
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. However, for the fastest Knowledge Point grinding, Naoe is your go-to character. To maximize efficiency:
- Visit a Shrine or Temple. Shrines require praying at designated structures, while Temples involve finding Lost Pages.
- Use Naoe's Focus ability by holding LT, L2, or your chosen button prompt. This will highlight nearby objectives with white or blue dots, guiding you directly to the locations where you need to pray or find pages.
- Leverage Naoe’s faster movement speed and parkour skills, particularly her grappling hook, to quickly navigate and reach high or hard-to-access areas where Lost Pages might be located.
Beyond Shrines and Temples, don't overlook other activities that reward Knowledge Points. Consistently engaging in these will steadily boost your Knowledge Rank.
By following these strategies, you'll be well on your way to amassing Knowledge Points quickly in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, unlocking new abilities and deepening your mastery of the game.
