In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, Naoe's personal journey is a central narrative thread, and one of the key quests you'll encounter is "Before the Fall." This quest requires you to complete the Kuji-kiri ritual to help Naoe heal her non-physical wounds by reliving her past memories. Here's a detailed guide on how to complete Kuji-kiri for Before the Fall in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.
To complete the Kuji-kiri ritual, you need to visit four specific locations across the game's map. Each location will trigger a memory sequence for Naoe, helping her to heal and progress in her journey.
The first Kuji-kiri location is within the Hideout area itself, on the east side of the map. You'll find it near a serene pond, where Naoe's journey begins.
The second location is south of the Hideout. Head to the area east of Tennoji Pagoda, and you'll find it north of Makinoodera Lookout and Makinooedera Temple. This spot is crucial for Naoe's healing process.
The third Kuji-kiri is located at the Rolling Glen, along the road slightly northeast of Tennoji Pagoda in Osaka. This memory will further unravel Naoe's past.
The final location is far west of the Izumi Settsu region. From Amagasaki Tenshu, head west until you reach just southeast of Nakayama Peak. This last memory will complete Naoe's healing journey.
At each of these locations, you'll engage in a short mini-game where you must 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 at each location will trigger a memory sequence, allowing you to relive one of Naoe's past experiences. Each completed memory will reward you with a Knowledge Point, which is essential for Naoe's development.
By following this guide, you'll be able to complete the Kuji-kiri ritual for Before the Fall in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, helping Naoe heal and progress in her personal journey. For more tips and information on the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
