Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to swiftly gather 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 as you collect a set number of Knowledge Points, with the required amount increasing as you progress through the levels. Fortunately, Naoe and Yasuke have numerous activities to engage in across Feudal Japan to earn these points.

Knowledge Points are gained through activities that emphasize mindfulness and skill acquisition. Here are some effective ways to earn 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 in terms of loot and XP may vary, these activities typically grant 1 Knowledge Point each.

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

The speed at which you can complete activities that award Knowledge Points in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* varies. For instance, early Kuji-Kiri activities for Naoe involve longer flashback missions and cutscenes, while later ones are more straightforward. The complexity of Kofuns and the skill required for Weapon Kata and Horse Archery also affect completion time. However, visiting Temples and Shrines remains the most efficient method for farming Knowledge Points.

How To Grind Knowledge Points in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

While some Knowledge Point activities are character-specific, both Naoe and Yasuke can visit Shrines and Temples. However, Naoe is the preferred character for farming these 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, and at Temples, you must find a set number of Lost Pages. To speed up the process, use Naoe and hold LT, L2, or your chosen button to activate Focus. This will highlight nearby objectives with white or blue dots, guiding you to 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 boost your Knowledge level.

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