Embark on a poignant journey with Naoe in *Assassin's Creed Shadows*, delving into her past through the "Before the Fall" questline. This quest requires completing "Kuji-kiri," a series of memory-unlocking challenges scattered across the game's map. Navigate four key locations to relive Naoe's experiences and piece together her story.

Assassin's Creed Shadows Kuji-kiri Locations

Kuji-kiri #1

Discover the first Kuji-kiri location within the Hideout, nestled by a pond on the eastern side of the map.

Kuji-kiri #2

This Kuji-kiri awaits south of the Hideout, in the area east of Tennoji Pagoda, north of Makinoodera Lookout and Makinooedera Temple.

Kuji-kiri #3

Find the third Kuji-kiri in the Rolling Glen, situated along the road slightly northeast of Tennoji Pagoda in Osaka.

Kuji-kiri #4

The final Kuji-kiri is located far west in the Izumi Settsu region. Travel west from Amagasaki Tenshu; it's southeast of Nakayama Peak.

How to Complete Kuji-kiri

Each Kuji-kiri location presents a rhythmic mini-game. You'll need to press four buttons in a specific sequence. While initially guided by on-screen prompts, these will fade, requiring you to learn the pattern. Successfully completing each mini-game unlocks a playable memory segment from Naoe's past, rewarding you with a Knowledge Point. Master the rhythm, unlock the memories, and complete Naoe's journey.
