In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, knowledge is power. As you advance your Knowledge Rank by accumulating Knowledge Points, you unlock new abilities through Mastery, significantly enhancing your gameplay. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to swiftly earn Knowledge Points in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.

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

Your journey through Feudal Japan with Naoe and Yasuke involves various activities to earn Knowledge Points, essential for progressing your Knowledge Rank. The number of points required to reach the next level increases as you progress, but there's no shortage of ways to gather them.

Knowledge Points are earned through activities centered around mindfulness and skill acquisition. Here are some key activities that reward you with these valuable 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, each of these activities typically grants 1 Knowledge Point.

What Activity Gets You Knowledge Points the Fastest in Assassin’s Creed Shadows?

The speed at which you can earn Knowledge Points varies by activity. For instance, early Kuji-Kiri activities for Naoe involve longer flashback missions with extended gameplay and cutscenes, whereas later ones are quicker. The complexity of Kofuns and the skill required for Weapon Kata and Horse Archery can affect your pace. However, Temples and Shrines stand out as the most efficient means to farm Knowledge Points.

How To Grind Knowledge Points in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

Some activities are character-specific, but both Naoe and Yasuke can visit Shrines and Temples. For the fastest Knowledge Point farming, choose Naoe. Shrines involve praying at designated structures, while Temples require finding a set number of Lost Pages. To maximize efficiency, run through the area with Naoe, using Focus (activated by holding LT, L2, or your chosen button) to highlight 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 parkour and grappling hook abilities make these tasks quicker and easier, especially for reaching high or difficult areas where Lost Pages might be hidden. Even beyond Shrines and Temples, keep engaging in other Knowledge Point-awarding activities to continually boost your Knowledge Rank.

And that’s how you can efficiently gather Knowledge Points in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* to enhance your gameplay and master new abilities.
