In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, knowledge is key to enhancing your gameplay and unlocking powerful abilities through Mastery. As you accumulate Knowledge Points, your Knowledge Rank will improve, allowing you to progress further in the game. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to quickly earn Knowledge Points in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.

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

Your Knowledge Rank advances by accumulating a set number of Knowledge Points, with the required amount increasing at each level. Fortunately, Naoe and Yasuke have numerous activities available to earn these points across Feudal Japan.

Knowledge Points are earned through activities that promote mindfulness or skill acquisition. Here are some key activities to help you gather 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 from these activities may vary, 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 involve longer flashback missions and cutscenes, whereas later ones are quicker. Similarly, the complexity of Kofuns and the skill required for Weapon Kata and Horse Archery can affect completion times. However, visiting Temples and Shrines remains the most efficient way to farm Knowledge Points due to their consistent availability and rewards.

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 character for farming Knowledge Points due to her agility and 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, while at Temples, you must find a set number of Lost Pages. To complete these tasks quickly, 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 to the locations where you need to pray or find pages.

Naoe’s faster movement and parkour skills, including her 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.

And that’s how to efficiently gather Knowledge Points in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.
