In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, mastering the art of Knowledge is key to advancing your gameplay. As you increase your Knowledge Rank by accumulating Knowledge Points, you unlock powerful abilities through Mastery. Here’s how to efficiently 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 progresses by earning a set number of Knowledge Points, with the required amount increasing as you advance. Fortunately, Naoe and Yasuke can participate in various activities across Feudal Japan to earn these points.

Knowledge Points are awarded for engaging in mindfulness or skill-acquisition activities. Here are some ways to earn them in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*:

• Find and loot the chest at a Kofun.
• Complete Kuji-Kiri activities.
• Engage in Weapon Kata and Horse Archery.
• Collect all Lost Pages at a Temple.
• Pay respect at Shrines.

While the rewards from these activities may vary, they 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 earn Knowledge Points in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* depends on the activity. Early Kuji-Kiri activities for Naoe involve flashback missions with extended gameplay and cutscenes, while later ones are quicker. The complexity of Kofuns can vary, and the time to complete Weapon Kata and Horse Archery depends on your skill level. However, visiting Temples and Shrines remains the most efficient way to farm Knowledge Points.

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 ideal choice for farming Knowledge Points due to her agility and unique abilities.

To grind Knowledge Points quickly, 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. Use Naoe’s Focus ability by holding LT, L2, or your chosen button to highlight objectives with white or blue dots, guiding you to pray or find pages.

Naoe's faster movement speed and parkour skills, including her grappling hook, make navigating these areas easier and quicker, especially when accessing higher or harder-to-reach locations for Lost Pages.

Beyond Shrines and Temples, continue engaging in other Knowledge Point-earning activities to keep your Knowledge level rising.

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