In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, advancing your Knowledge Rank is crucial for unlocking powerful abilities through Mastery. Earning Knowledge Points is the key to this progression, and here’s how you can quickly accumulate them.
How To Earn Knowledge Points and Level Up Knowledge Rank in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
As you progress in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, the number of Knowledge Points required to reach the next Knowledge Rank increases. Fortunately, there are numerous activities across Feudal Japan that Naoe and Yasuke can engage in to earn these points.
Knowledge Points are earned through activities that enhance mindfulness and teach new skills. Here are some effective ways to earn Knowledge Points:
- 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 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 earn Knowledge Points in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* depends on the activity. Early Kuji-Kiri activities for Naoe involve longer flashback missions with cutscenes, while later ones are quicker. Kofuns can vary in complexity, and the time taken for Weapon Kata and Horse Archery depends on your skill level. However, visiting Temples and Shrines is 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 ideal choice for farming Knowledge Points due to her abilities. To maximize your Knowledge Point gains, head to a Shrine or Temple. Shrines require you to pray at specific structures, and Temples ask you to find Lost Pages.
To complete these tasks quickly, use Naoe and run through the area while holding down LT, L2, or your chosen button to activate Focus. This will highlight nearby objectives, making it easier to find where to pray or locate Lost Pages. Naoe’s faster movement speed and access to the grappling hook and parkour abilities make these activities more efficient, especially for reaching higher areas where some Lost Pages are located.
Beyond Shrines and Temples, continue to engage in other Knowledge Point-earning activities to steadily increase 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.*
