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

Your Knowledge Rank advances as you gather a specific number of Knowledge Points, with the requirement increasing as you progress. Fortunately, Naoe and Yasuke have a variety of activities they can undertake across Feudal Japan to earn these points. Activities centered around mindfulness and skill acquisition are key to earning Knowledge Points. Here are some effective ways to earn them:

• 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.

Each of these activities generally rewards 1 Knowledge Point, though the amount of loot and XP may vary.

What Activity Gets You Knowledge Points the Fastest in Assassin’s Creed Shadows?

The speed at which you can complete activities to earn Knowledge Points varies. For instance, early Kuji-Kiri activities involve longer gameplay segments and cutscenes, whereas later ones are shorter. The complexity of Kofuns and the skill required for Weapon Kata and Horse Archery also impact the time needed. However, visiting Temples and Shrines remains the most efficient way to farm Knowledge Points due to their consistent nature 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. However, Naoe is the preferred choice for farming Knowledge Points due to her agility and unique abilities. To maximize your Knowledge Point gains, head to a Shrine or Temple:

• At Shrines, pray at the required structures.
• At Temples, find the set 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 to pray or find pages efficiently. Naoe’s faster movement and parkour abilities, including her grappling hook, make reaching higher or hard-to-access areas much easier, especially when collecting Lost Pages.

Beyond Shrines and Temples, continue to engage in other Knowledge Point-earning activities whenever possible to steadily increase your Knowledge Rank.

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