Your journey to a higher Knowledge Rank involves amassing a set number of Knowledge Points, with the required amount increasing as you advance. Fortunately, Naoe and Yasuke have plenty of opportunities across Feudal Japan to earn these points through various activities.

Knowledge Points are gained by engaging in tasks that emphasize mindfulness or learning new skills. Here are some effective activities for earning 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 can differ, these activities generally grant 1 Knowledge Point each.

The speed at which you can complete activities to earn Knowledge Points varies. For instance, early Kuji-Kiri activities for Naoe may involve longer flashback missions and cutscenes, while later ones are quicker. The complexity of Kofuns and the player's skill in Weapon Kata and Horse Archery also affect completion time. However, visiting Temples and Shrines remains the most efficient method for farming Knowledge Points.

While some Knowledge Point activities are specific to either Naoe or Yasuke, both characters can utilize Shrines and Temples. In practice, Naoe is the preferred choice for farming these points due to her agility and abilities.

To maximize your Knowledge Points quickly, head to a Shrine or Temple. At Shrines, you'll need to pray at a set number of structures, and at Temples, you must find a specific number of Lost Pages. To expedite this process, use Naoe and activate Focus by holding LT, L2, or your chosen button prompt. This feature will highlight objectives with white or blue dots, guiding you to prayer spots or Lost Pages.

Naoe's faster movement speed and access to the grappling hook and parkour make these tasks much easier and quicker, especially for reaching higher areas where some Lost Pages are located. Beyond Shrines and Temples, continue engaging in other Knowledge Point-awarding activities whenever possible to boost your Knowledge Rank.

And that's how you can swiftly accumulate Knowledge Points in *Assassin's Creed Shadows*.
