Assassin’s Creed Shadows Kuji-kiri Locations
The Before the Fall quest kicks off Naoe's journey in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. The quest requires you to visit four specific locations to relive Naoe’s past memories. Here are the locations where you'll find each Kuji-kiri.
Kuji-kiri #1
The first Kuji-kiri can be found in the Hideout area, on the east side of the map, at a pond.
Kuji-kiri #2
The second one is south of the Hideout. Look for it east of Tennoji Pagoda, and north of Makinoodera Lookout and Makinooedera Temple.
Kuji-kiri #3
You'll find the third Kuji-kiri at Rolling Glen, along the road slightly northeast of Tennoji Pagoda in Osaka.
Kuji-kiri #4
The final Kuji-kiri is located far west of the Izumi Settsu region. From Amagasaki Tenshu, head west until you reach just southeast of Nakayama Peak.
How to Complete Kuji-kiri
At each of these locations, you'll engage in a mini-game where you need to press four buttons in a specific rhythm. Initially, the button prompts will appear onscreen, but they will gradually disappear, requiring you to master the rhythm. Successfully completing the mini-game will allow you to revisit one of Naoe’s memories and play through a short section. Each completed memory will reward you with a Knowledge Point.
By following these steps, you'll successfully complete the Kuji-kiri quest for Before the Fall in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. For more tips and information on the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
