What Is Kuji-Kiri

The only character capable of completing this side quest is Naoe, for which she must go to the designated locations and sit there in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. The term “kuji-kiri” means “nine symbolic cuts”. A set of nine hand movements is used in this traditional Japanese technique. A particular collection of mantras also accompany it. The primary goal of this ritual is to positively affect the practitioner’s mental and spiritual well-being.

The background for this Kuji-Kiri is a pretty view of the shrine. It especially looks spectacular during the night with the lanterns glowing, contrasting well with the moonlit sky.

Naoe will take a seat, close her eyes, and start meditating after pressing the indicated button to start the Eboshigata Hachiman Shrine Kuji-Kiri quest. Within four transparent white circles, four buttons will show up on the screen. Inside each circle, the white outline will get narrower. You will need to tap the button once the outline meets the circle. You can go on to the next button if you time it correctly.

The prompts get harder as the tempo increases with each successful turn. When prompted, continue pressing the buttons. You are required to memorise the four buttons as the prompts appear in a clockwise motion. The screen starts growing white, eventually fading out the buttons. Through what you have memorised, you are required to press the right buttons. The journey concludes with Naoe meditating on a recollection from her past after a few rotations.
