In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, mastering the art of acquiring Knowledge Points is crucial for advancing your Knowledge Rank and unlocking powerful Mastery abilities. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to swiftly gather Knowledge Points in this immersive journey through Feudal Japan.
How To Earn Knowledge Points and Level Up Knowledge Rank in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
Your journey to elevate your Knowledge Rank in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* involves accumulating Knowledge Points. As you progress, the number of points required to reach the next level increases, but fear not—there are numerous activities for Naoe and Yasuke to engage in across the vast landscapes of Feudal Japan.
Knowledge Points are primarily earned through activities that enhance your mindfulness or teach new skills. Here are some key activities that will help you earn these valuable 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 may vary in terms of loot and XP, they generally award 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. For instance, early Kuji-Kiri activities for Naoe might involve longer flashback missions that delve into her backstory, while later ones are shorter. Similarly, the complexity of Kofuns can vary, and the time required for Weapon Kata and Horse Archery depends on your skill level.
However, Temples and Shrines stand out as the most efficient means 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 interact with Shrines and Temples, though Naoe is the preferred choice for farming Knowledge Points. To maximize your efficiency:
Head to a Shrine or Temple. Shrines require you to pray at a certain number of structures, whereas Temples ask you to find a set number of Lost Pages. To speed through these tasks, use Naoe and hold LT, L2, or your chosen Focus button. This will highlight nearby objectives, making it easier to locate where you need to pray or search for pages.
Naoe's agility and parkour skills, especially with the grappling hook, make it easier to reach high or inaccessible areas where Lost Pages may be hidden, unlike Yasuke. By utilizing these abilities, you can quickly gather the necessary points.
Beyond Shrines and Temples, don't overlook other opportunities to earn Knowledge Points. Engaging in various activities across the game world will keep your Knowledge Rank climbing.
