In *Assassin's Creed Shadows*, Naoe's personal journey is a key narrative thread, and completing Kuji-kiri for the quest "Before the Fall" is crucial to her story. This quest involves visiting four locations to relive Naoe's past memories and help her heal her non-physical wounds. Here's a detailed guide on how to complete this quest.
Assassin's Creed Shadows Kuji-kiri Locations
The quest "Before the Fall" is the initial step in Naoe's journey within *Assassin's Creed Shadows*. To fulfill the quest's objective, you must visit four specific locations to engage with Naoe's memories. Here's where you can find them:
Kuji-kiri #1
The first location is within the Hideout area, on the eastern side of the map, near a pond. This serene spot is your gateway to Naoe's first memory.
Kuji-kiri #2
The second location is south of the Hideout, positioned east of Tennoji Pagoda and north of both Makinoodera Lookout and Makinooedera Temple. It's a peaceful area that holds another piece of Naoe's past.
Kuji-kiri #3
The third location is found at the Rolling Glen, along a road slightly northeast of Tennoji Pagoda in Osaka. This spot provides insight into Naoe's journey and her struggles.
Kuji-kiri #4
The final location is far west of the Izumi Settsu region. From Amagasaki Tenshu, head west until you reach a point just southeast of Nakayama Peak. This last memory location is essential for completing Naoe's healing process.
How to Complete Kuji-kiri
At each of these locations, you'll participate in a mini-game that requires you to press four buttons in a specific rhythm. Initially, the button prompts will be visible on the screen, but they will gradually fade, challenging you to memorize the sequence. Successfully completing the mini-game at each location will trigger a revisit to one of Naoe's memories, leading to a short, playable section. Each completed memory will reward you with a Knowledge Point, enhancing Naoe's abilities and deepening her narrative.
By following this guide, you'll be able to complete Kuji-kiri for "Before the Fall" in *Assassin's Creed Shadows*, allowing Naoe to heal and progress in her journey. For more tips and information on the game, be sure to visit The Escapist.
