Your journey to a higher Knowledge Rank involves collecting a set number of Knowledge Points, with the requirement increasing as you progress. 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.

While the rewards in terms of loot and XP may vary, these activities typically grant 1 Knowledge Point each.

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

While some activities are character-specific, both Naoe and Yasuke can visit Shrines and Temples. For the fastest Knowledge Point farming, choose Naoe. Shrines require praying at designated structures, and Temples involve finding Lost Pages. To maximize efficiency, use Naoe’s Focus ability (activated by holding LT, L2, or your chosen button) to highlight objectives with white or blue dots, guiding you to where you need to pray or find pages.

Naoe’s agility and parkour skills, including the grappling hook, make navigating these areas and reaching high-placed Lost Pages much easier and quicker than with Yasuke. Even beyond Shrines and Temples, make sure to engage in other Knowledge Point-earning activities whenever possible to boost your Knowledge level.

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