Your journey to a higher Knowledge Rank involves amassing a set number of Knowledge Points, with the required amount increasing as you progress. Fortunately, Naoe and Yasuke have a variety of activities at their disposal to earn these points throughout the game's expansive world.

Knowledge Points can be earned by engaging in activities that promote mindfulness and skill acquisition. Here are some key activities to focus on:

  • 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 respects at Shrines.

While the rewards from these activities can differ, they typically grant 1 Knowledge Point each, making them valuable pursuits for progression.

The speed at which you can earn Knowledge Points varies with the type of activity. Early Kuji-Kiri missions, for instance, can be lengthy due to flashback sequences, whereas later ones are more straightforward. Kofuns and other activities like Weapon Kata and Horse Archery also have varying durations based on complexity and player skill.

However, Temples and Shrines stand out as the most efficient methods for farming Knowledge Points. These locations are not only accessible to both Naoe and Yasuke but also offer a structured way to earn points quickly.

While some activities are specific to either Naoe or Yasuke, both characters can utilize Shrines and Temples. For the fastest Knowledge Point farming, Naoe is the preferred character due to her agility and specialized skills.

To maximize your Knowledge Point grind, target Shrines and Temples. At Shrines, you need to pray at designated structures, while Temples require you to collect a set number of Lost Pages. Use Naoe's Focus ability by holding LT, L2, or your chosen button to highlight objectives, making it easier to locate where to pray or find pages.

Naoe's superior movement speed and access to tools like the grappling hook and parkour abilities make reaching high or difficult areas for Lost Pages a breeze. Beyond Shrines and Temples, engage in other Knowledge Point-earning activities whenever possible to continually boost your Knowledge Rank.

By following these strategies, you'll be well on your way to earning Knowledge Points quickly in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* and unlocking the full potential of your characters.

*Assassin’s Creed Shadows is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.*
