In Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Naoe's personal journey is a key element of the narrative, and completing the Kuji-kiri for the Before the Fall quest is an essential part of this journey. This quest involves visiting four distinct locations to help Naoe heal her non-physical wounds by reliving her past memories. Here's a detailed guide on how to locate and complete Kuji-kiri in Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows Kuji-kiri Locations

Kuji-kiri #1 The first location is conveniently found within the Hideout area, specifically on the east side of the map near a serene pond.

Kuji-kiri #2 The second location lies to the south of the Hideout. You'll find it east of Tennoji Pagoda and north of both Makinoodera Lookout and Makinooedera Temple.

Kuji-kiri #3 The third spot is at Rolling Glen, positioned along the road just northeast of Tennoji Pagoda in Osaka.

Kuji-kiri #4 The final location is situated in the far west of the Izumi Settsu region. Starting from Amagasaki Tenshu, head west until you reach the area southeast of Nakayama Peak.

How to Complete Kuji-kiri

At each of these locations, you'll engage in a brief mini-game that requires you to press four buttons in a specific sequence and rhythm. Initially, the button prompts will be visible on your screen, but they will fade away as you progress, challenging you to master the timing.

Upon successfully completing the mini-game at each location, you'll be transported into one of Naoe's memories, where you'll experience a short, interactive segment. Completing each of these segments will earn you a Knowledge Point, enhancing Naoe's abilities and understanding.

By following these steps, you'll successfully complete the Kuji-kiri for the Before the Fall quest in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, furthering Naoe's personal journey and enriching your understanding of her character. For more tips and insights on the game, be sure to visit The Escapist.
