In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, Naoe's personal journey is a compelling narrative thread, and one of the key quests in her storyline is "Before the Fall." This quest requires you to complete Kuji-kiri, a process that helps Naoe heal her non-physical wounds by reliving her past memories. To achieve this, you'll need to visit four specific locations scattered across the game world. Let's dive into how to find and complete Kuji-kiri for Before the Fall.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Kuji-kiri Locations
Kuji-kiri #1
Your journey begins right in the Hideout area on the east side of the map. Head to the pond, where you'll find the first Kuji-kiri location.
Kuji-kiri #2
The second location is just south of the Hideout. Navigate to the area east of Tennoji Pagoda, and you'll find it between Makinoodera Lookout and Makinooedera Temple.
Kuji-kiri #3
For the third Kuji-kiri, head to the Rolling Glen along the road slightly northeast of Tennoji Pagoda in Osaka. It's an easily recognizable spot if you keep an eye on your map.
Kuji-kiri #4
The final location is quite a trek, located far west of the Izumi Settsu region. Start from Amagasaki Tenshu and head west; you'll find this last Kuji-kiri just southeast of Nakayama Peak.
How to Complete Kuji-kiri
At each of these four locations, you'll engage in a short mini-game. The challenge is to press four buttons in a specific rhythm. Initially, the button prompts will be visible on your screen, but they'll gradually fade away, requiring you to master the sequence. Successfully completing the mini-game at each location will trigger one of Naoe's memories, leading you through a short playable section. Each completed memory rewards you with a Knowledge Point, crucial for Naoe's growth and progression.
By following these steps, you'll successfully complete Kuji-kiri for Before the Fall in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. For more tips and detailed guides on the game, don't forget to check out The Escapist.
