In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, mastering the art of acquiring Knowledge Points is crucial for enhancing your Knowledge Rank and unlocking powerful abilities through Mastery. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to efficiently earn Knowledge Points and accelerate your progression in the game.
Your journey through Feudal Japan as Naoe and Yasuke involves a variety of activities that contribute to your Knowledge Rank. Each level requires an increasing number of Knowledge Points, but the good news is that there are numerous ways to earn them. Engaging in activities that promote mindfulness and skill acquisition is key to boosting your Knowledge Points.
Here are some effective activities to earn Knowledge Points in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*:
While the rewards in terms of loot and XP may vary, these activities typically grant 1 Knowledge Point each.
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 involve longer flashback missions, while later ones are more straightforward. Similarly, the complexity of Kofuns and the skill required for Weapon Kata and Horse Archery can affect the time spent. However, visiting Temples and Shrines remains the most efficient method for farming Knowledge Points due to their consistent rewards and accessibility.
While some activities are character-specific, both Naoe and Yasuke can visit Shrines and Temples. However, Naoe is the preferred character for grinding Knowledge Points due to her agility and unique abilities. To maximize your efficiency, head to a Shrine or Temple and use Naoe’s Focus ability (activated by holding LT, L2, or your chosen button) to highlight objectives with white or blue dots, guiding you to where you need to pray or find Lost Pages.
Naoe’s faster movement and parkour skills, especially with the grappling hook, make it easier to reach high or difficult areas where Lost Pages might be located. Even when not at Shrines or Temples, continue to engage in other Knowledge Point-earning activities to steadily increase your Knowledge Rank.
By following these strategies, you'll be able to gather Knowledge Points quickly and efficiently in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, enhancing your gameplay experience and unlocking new abilities.
*Assassin’s Creed Shadows is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.*
