What Awards XP in Assassin’s Creed Shadows?
In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, XP can be earned through various actions and activities. From slaying enemies and assassinating targets to completing quests and engaging in side content, every action contributes to your XP. However, the amount of XP awarded varies, so prioritizing certain activities can significantly boost your leveling speed.

How to Get Fast XP from Castles in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
Conquering castles can be challenging, but here are some tips to streamline the process and maximize XP gains:
- Choose your protagonist wisely. Naoe’s Eagle’s Vision helps locate Samurai Daisho quickly, facilitating stealthy assassinations. Enhancing Naoe’s assassination damage ensures instant kills.
- At lower to medium levels, Yasuke's brute force can clear castles swiftly. Trigger the alarm to draw enemies to you and engage them in open combat.
With these strategies, you can earn up to and beyond 4,000 XP in just a few minutes.
Assassinating Targets Nets Large XP Bonuses in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
Each assassination rewards an XP bonus, typically between 2,000 and 3,000 XP, along with XP for killing the elite enemy. Completing an entire assassination chain and reporting back to the quest giver nets you a significant bonus, usually around 5,000 XP.
