In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, mastering the art of Knowledge is crucial for advancing your gameplay. As you elevate your Knowledge Rank by accumulating Knowledge Points, you unlock a variety of 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
Your journey to higher Knowledge Ranks involves amassing a set number of Knowledge Points, with the requirement increasing as you progress. Fortunately, Naoe and Yasuke have numerous activities at their disposal across Feudal Japan to earn these points.
Knowledge Points are gained through activities that emphasize mindfulness and skill acquisition. Here are some key activities that will help you 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 to earn Knowledge Points in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* varies. For instance, early Kuji-Kiri activities for Naoe involve longer flashback missions, while later ones are more straightforward. The complexity of Kofuns and the skill required for Weapon Kata and Horse Archery also affect completion time. However, Temples and Shrines stand out as the most efficient means to farm Knowledge Points due to their consistent structure.

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, you need to pray at a certain number of structures, and at Temples, you must find a set number of Lost Pages. To expedite these tasks, use Naoe and activate Focus by holding LT, L2, or your chosen button prompt. Focus will highlight nearby objectives with white or blue dots, guiding you directly to where you need to pray or find pages.
Naoe’s superior movement speed and access to the grappling hook and parkour abilities make these activities much quicker and easier, especially when reaching higher areas where Lost Pages might be located.
Beyond Shrines and Temples, continue to engage in other Knowledge Point-earning activities whenever possible to steadily increase your Knowledge level.
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.*
