How to Earn Knowledge Points and Level Up Knowledge Rank in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
Your journey in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* involves progressing through Knowledge Ranks by accumulating Knowledge Points. As you advance, the number of points required to reach the next level increases. Fortunately, the vast landscape of Feudal Japan offers numerous activities for Naoe and Yasuke to engage in, each rewarding you with valuable Knowledge Points.
Engaging in activities centered around mindfulness and skill acquisition is key to earning Knowledge Points. Here are some effective ways to boost your Knowledge Points:
- Find and loot the chest at a Kofun.

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 you choose. For instance, early Kuji-Kiri activities for Naoe involve longer flashback missions, while later ones are quicker. Kofuns can be more or less involved, and the time taken for Weapon Kata and Horse Archery varies with player skill. However, visiting Temples and Shrines stands out as 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 utilize Shrines and Temples to earn Knowledge Points. For optimal results, choose Naoe when farming, as her agility and abilities make these tasks much easier and quicker.
To efficiently grind Knowledge Points, head to a Shrine or Temple. Shrines require you to pray at designated structures, and Temples task you with finding Lost Pages. Use Naoe’s Focus ability, activated by holding LT, L2, or your designated button, to highlight objectives. This feature will show white or blue dots indicating where to pray or find pages, streamlining your efforts.
Naoe’s superior movement speed and access to grappling hooks and parkour abilities make navigating these areas and reaching high-placed Lost Pages straightforward. Even when not at Shrines or Temples, keep an eye out for other Knowledge Point-earning activities to continually boost your Knowledge Rank.
By following these strategies, you'll be well on your way to amassing Knowledge Points swiftly in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.
