Open worlds are a blessing and a curse. You're free to explore at will, hoovering up whatever side quests and collectables tickle your fancy at any given moment, but there is a lot vying for your attention. Assassin's Creed Shadows is no exception. Is the main story taking me to a new region? Cool! I'll get right on that – let me just help this group of polite farmers, clear six bandit camps, and climb every single tower along the way.
But some of Assassin's Creed Shadows' activities are designed to be done as you find them, rather than in one hectic binge. Knowledge points – used to unlock higher tiers of skills for both Naoe and Yasuke – are gained from interacting with the world in a few different ways. However you end up gathering Knowledge, take it from me: it's something you'll want to stay on top of before you need it, not after.
