"Mastering Knowledge Points Acquisition in Assassin’s Creed Shadows"

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

Knowledge Points are gained through activities that emphasize mindfulness and skill acquisition. Here are some activities you can engage in to earn Knowledge Points in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*:

• Find and loot the chest at a Kofun.
• Complete Kuji-Kiri activities.
• Complete Weapon Kata and Horse Archery.
• Find all Lost Pages at a Temple.
• Pay respect at Shrines.

While the rewards from these activities can vary, 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 complete activities that award Knowledge Points in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* varies. For instance, early Kuji-Kiri activities for Naoe involve longer flashback missions with extended gameplay and cutscenes, unlike later ones. The complexity of Kofuns can differ, and the time to master Weapon Kata and Horse Archery depends on your skill level. Despite these variations, 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. However, Naoe is the preferred choice for farming Knowledge Points due to her advantages in speed and agility.

To maximize your Knowledge Point gains, head to a Shrine or Temple. At Shrines, you need to pray at a certain number of structures, and at Temples, you must find a set number of Lost Pages. To do this efficiently, use Naoe and activate Focus by holding LT, L2, or the designated button. Focus will highlight nearby objectives with white or blue dots, guiding you directly to where you need to pray or find pages.

Naoe's faster movement and parkour skills, including her grappling hook, make navigating these areas and reaching higher Lost Pages much easier and quicker compared to Yasuke. Additionally, continue engaging in other Knowledge Point-earning activities whenever possible to boost your Knowledge Rank.

And that’s how to get Knowledge Points fast in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.

*Assassin’s Creed Shadows is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.*
