How To Get Knowledge Points Fast in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, mastering the art of Knowledge is crucial for game progression. As you elevate your Knowledge Rank by accumulating Knowledge Points, you unlock new abilities through Mastery. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to swiftly gather Knowledge Points in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.

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

Advancing your Knowledge Rank involves collecting a set number of Knowledge Points, and the requirement increases with each level. 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 or 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 complete activities that award Knowledge Points in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* varies. For instance, early Kuji-Kiri missions for Naoe involve longer gameplay segments and cutscenes, revealing her backstory, while later ones are shorter. Similarly, the complexity of Kofuns and the time required for Weapon Kata and Horse Archery depend on player skill.

However, Temples and Shrines stand out as the most efficient means to farm Knowledge Points due to their consistent structure and accessibility.

How To Grind Knowledge Points in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

Some Knowledge Point-earning activities are character-specific, but both Naoe and Yasuke can utilize Shrines and Temples. For the fastest grinding, Naoe is the preferred character due to her agility and unique abilities.

To maximize your Knowledge Point gain, head to a Shrine or Temple. At Shrines, you'll need to pray at a required number of structures, while at Temples, you must find a set number of Lost Pages. Use Naoe's Focus ability (activated by holding LT, L2, or the chosen button prompt) to highlight objectives with white or blue dots, guiding you to prayer spots or Lost Pages.

Naoe’s swift movement and parkour skills, especially with her grappling hook, make navigating these areas and reaching high-placed Lost Pages easier and faster. Even beyond Shrines and Temples, engage in other Knowledge Point-earning activities whenever possible to boost your Knowledge level steadily.

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

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