In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, Naoe's journey in the quest "Before the Fall" involves a deep dive into her past through the completion of Kuji-kiri. This quest is essential for Naoe to heal from her non-physical wounds by reliving her memories at four key locations. Here's how you can complete Kuji-kiri for Before the Fall in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Kuji-kiri Locations
Kuji-kiri #1
The first location is right in the Hideout area on the east side of the map, near a serene pond. This spot marks the beginning of Naoe's reflective journey.
Kuji-kiri #2
Next, head south of the Hideout to an area east of Tennoji Pagoda, and just north of Makinoodera Lookout and Makinooedera Temple. Here, you'll continue to unravel more layers of Naoe's past.
Kuji-kiri #3
The third location is at Rolling Glen, a scenic spot along the road slightly northeast of Tennoji Pagoda in Osaka. This visit will further deepen your understanding of Naoe's story.
Kuji-kiri #4
Finally, travel far west of the Izumi Settsu region. From Amagasaki Tenshu, head west until you reach a point just southeast of Nakayama Peak. This last location will complete Naoe's emotional journey.
How to Complete Kuji-kiri
At each of these locations, you'll engage in a mini-game that requires you to press four buttons in a specific rhythm. Initially, the button prompts will be visible on the screen, but they will gradually fade away, challenging you to master the timing. Successfully completing the rhythm will trigger one of Naoe's memories, leading to a short playable segment. Each completed memory rewards you with a Knowledge Point, enriching Naoe's character development and your gameplay experience.
By following these steps, you'll successfully complete Kuji-kiri for Before the Fall in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. For more tips and detailed information on the game, make sure to check out The Escapist.
