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* varies depending on the activity. Early Kuji-Kiri activities for Naoe involve longer gameplay segments and cutscenes, while later ones are more straightforward.

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. For the fastest Knowledge Point accumulation, choose Naoe. Shrines require praying at designated structures, while Temples involve finding Lost Pages. To expedite these tasks, use Naoe’s Focus ability (activated by holding LT, L2, or your chosen button) to highlight nearby objectives with white or blue dots, guiding you directly to the prayer spots or pages.
Naoe’s agility and access to the grappling hook and parkour skills make it easier to reach higher areas and collect Lost Pages swiftly. Even when not at Shrines or Temples, make sure to engage in other Knowledge Point-awarding activities to steadily increase your Knowledge Rank.
