What is Kuji-kiri?

1. Kuji-kiri is a place where you can meditate as Naoe. Meditation, however, doesn't mean just sitting idly with your closed eyes. In AC Shadows, it involves a mini-game where you need to press the buttons that appear on the screen. From our experience, the easiest way to complete it is to just keep mashing the buttons. The order of the buttons is different for each location, and you can make things easier for yourself by holding down the next button, not waiting for the perfect moment to press it.
2. The first four Kuji-kiri additionally activate quests from Naoe's past. They will allow you to learn about the events preceding the campaign prologue.
3. The game will reward you with 5000 XP and a Knowledge Point, which you can later use to develop your skills.
