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

In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, Naoe's journey is filled with significant story arcs, one of which involves completing the Kuji-kiri ritual in the quest titled "Before the Fall." This quest is crucial for Naoe as she seeks to heal her non-physical wounds by reliving her past memories at four key locations. Here's a detailed guide on how to complete the Kuji-kiri ritual.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows Kuji-kiri Locations

Kuji-kiri #1

The first Kuji-kiri location is within the Hideout area on the east side of the map, near a serene pond. This spot is your starting point to delve into Naoe's memories.

Kuji-kiri #2

For the second memory, head south of the Hideout. You'll find it east of Tennoji Pagoda and north of Makinoodera Lookout and Makinooedera Temple. This location offers a deeper insight into Naoe's past.

Kuji-kiri #3

The third location is at Rolling Glen, along the road slightly northeast of Tennoji Pagoda in Osaka. Visiting here will continue your journey through Naoe's memories.

Kuji-kiri #4

The final memory is located far west of the Izumi Settsu region. From Amagasaki Tenshu, head west until you reach just southeast of Nakayama Peak. This last location completes Naoe's healing journey.

How to Complete Kuji-kiri

At each of these four locations, you'll engage in a mini-game that involves pressing four buttons in a specific rhythm. Initially, the button prompts will be visible onscreen, but they will gradually fade away, requiring you to master the rhythm. Successfully completing this mini-game at each site will allow you to relive one of Naoe's memories through a short, playable section. Each completed memory rewards you with a Knowledge Point, furthering Naoe's growth and understanding.

By following these steps, you'll successfully complete the Kuji-kiri ritual for "Before the Fall" in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, helping Naoe heal and progress in her journey. For more tips and detailed information on the game, be sure to visit The Escapist.
