All Kuji-kiri Locations in Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Before the Fall Quest Guide)

Embark on a poignant journey with Naoe in *Assassin's Creed Shadows*, unraveling the emotional threads of her past through the "Before the Fall" quest. This quest requires completing "Kuji-kiri," a series of memory-unlocking encounters. To help Naoe heal, you must visit four specific locations, each holding a piece of her past.

Assassin's Creed Shadows: Kuji-kiri Locations

Kuji-kiri #1

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

Kuji-kiri #2

Journey south of the Hideout to find the second location. It's situated east of Tennoji Pagoda, north of both Makinoodera Lookout and Makinoodera Temple.

Kuji-kiri #3

The third Kuji-kiri awaits you in the Rolling Glen, along the road slightly northeast of Tennoji Pagoda in Osaka.

Kuji-kiri #4

For the final Kuji-kiri, venture far west of the Izumi Settsu region. Starting from Amagasaki Tenshu, head west until you locate it southeast of Nakayama Peak.

Completing Kuji-kiri

At each location, participate in a rhythmic mini-game. You'll need to press four buttons in a specific sequence. While the prompts are initially displayed, they gradually disappear, requiring you to learn the pattern. Successfully completing each mini-game will unlock a memory sequence and reward you with a Knowledge Point.

By completing all four Kuji-kiri encounters, you'll conclude the "Before the Fall" quest and gain valuable insights into Naoe's journey. For more Assassin's Creed Shadows guides and tips, be sure to check out The Escapist.
