Kuji-kiri Locations in Assassin’s Creed Shadows: Before the Fall Quest Guide

In Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Naoe's personal journey unfolds through the quest "Before the Fall," where you must complete Kuji-kiri to help her heal from non-physical wounds. This involves visiting four key locations to relive Naoe's past memories. Here's a detailed guide on how to complete Kuji-kiri in Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows Kuji-kiri Locations

Kuji-kiri #1

The first location is within the Hideout area itself, on the east side of the map, near a pond.

Kuji-kiri #2

The second location is south of the Hideout, east of Tennoji Pagoda, and north of both Makinoodera Lookout and Makinooedera Temple.

Kuji-kiri #3

The third one can be found at Rolling Glen, along the road slightly northeast of Tennoji Pagoda in Osaka.

Kuji-kiri #4

The final location is far west of the Izumi Settsu region. From Amagasaki Tenshu, head west until you reach the area just southeast of Nakayama Peak.

How to Complete Kuji-kiri

At each of these locations, you'll engage in a mini-game requiring you to press four buttons in a specific rhythm. Initially, the button prompts will appear on the screen but will gradually disappear, challenging you to master the rhythm.

Upon successfully completing the mini-game at each location, you'll revisit one of Naoe's memories and participate in a short playable section. Each completed memory will reward you with a Knowledge Point.

By following these steps, you'll successfully complete Kuji-kiri for the "Before the Fall" quest in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. For more tips and information on the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
