Where to find Lost Pages in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

Collecting Lost Pages in Assassin’s Creed Shadows is a time-consuming process, but is one of the least dangerous ways to earn knowledge points (and thus get even stronger). They’re located in Temples.

In this in-progress Assassin’s Creed Shadows guide, we’ll not only show you where to find Temples but where to find all Lost Pages in each Temple.

Update (March 25th): We’ve added additional Lost Pages locations.

How to find Lost Pages in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

Lost Pages are found in the immediate surroundings of Temples, with each Temple housing anywhere from two and five pages (in our experience). Once you’ve collected all Lost Pages in the Temple, you’ll gain a knowledge point.

As you’d expect from a collectible in an Assassin’s Creed game, Lost Pages tend to be tucked in hard-to-reach places. Sometimes they’re behind buildings or on hidden pedestals. Other times they’re on rooftops — or even in trees.

Below, we’ve listed all Lost Pages we’ve found so far in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, organized by province, in generally the order in which you go through these provinces for the main story.

All Lost Pages in Izumi Settsu

Here’s an overview of all Lost Pages in the game’s starting region, Izumi Settsu. There are only three Temples with Lost Pages here: Gansenji Temple, Tennoji Temple, and Makinoodera Temple.

Gansenji Temple

Gansenji Temple, south of Sakai, is home to two Lost Pages.

• Upon entering the complex through the front gate, the first Lost Page is on your right, behind the boulder.
• The second is on the roof of the largest building.

Tennoji Temple

Southeast of Osaka, you’ll find the Tennoji Temple (same location as the viewpoint). There are three Lost Pages here.

• As seen from the viewpoint, the first is next to the small pond in the northwestern corner.
• The second one is just outside the walls in the northeast.
• The third is within the walls on the east side, at the top of a damaged building.

Makinoodera Temple

The Makinoodera Temple is in the southern part of Izumi Settsu, southwest of Osaka and the Tennoji Temple. There are three Lost Pages here.

• If you approach the complex from the northwest, take the path left of the massive building. You’ll find one Lost Page in the damaged building on the left
• You’ll find another further ahead of you behind the stone pillar in the bushes.
• Continue walking around the large building to the right, and you’ll see another damaged building; the third Lost Page is in the attic.

All Lost Pages in Yamashiro

Given that this region contains the city of Kyoto, which is littered with Temples, it’s perhaps no surprise that there are 10 Temples with Lost Pages in Yamashiro: Toji Temple, Tofukuji Temple, Honnoji Temple, Tenryuji Temple, Kiyomizudera Temple, Shokokuji Temple, Kinkakuji Temple, Ginkakuji Temple, Kuramadera Temple, and Byodoin Temple.

Toji Temple

The Toji Temple and its three Lost Pages are located in the southern part of Kyoto, not far north of Shoryuji.

• The first page is on top of the building in the west.
• The second is on a tree branch in the north.
• The third is in the middle of the pond.

Tofukuji Temple

The Tofukuji Temple, which lies southeast of Kyoto, contains three Lost Pages.

• If you enter from the south, there’s one directly to your right, in the small pond behind the bridge.
• Climb the building with the gate in the northeast to find the second page on the roof.
• If you look toward the west from there, you’ll see a large bell ahead of you — the third Lost Page is behind it.

Honnoji Temple

The Honnoji Temple is situated in central Kyoto. There are four Lost Pages here.

• If you enter through the southern gate, the first one will be on a damaged building to your right.
• Proceed through the large central building and turn left; there’s another Lost Page in the dried-up pond.
• The third Lost Page is on the rooftop of the large building in the north.
• From there you can see the fourth Lost Page underneath an unscathed building in the east. (Beware that you’ll need to crawl under that final building to grab the page.)

Tenryuji Temple

The Tenryuji Temple and its three Lost Pages are situated between Kyoto and Arashiyama forest.

• The first Lost page is on top of the large building in the southwest.
• The second is on the highest floor of the watchtower in the north
• The third is in the middle of the pond.

Kiyomizudera Temple

The Kiyomizudera Temple is situated southeast of Kyoto. You must find a total of three Lost Pages here.

• One can be found on a tree branch next to a Buddha statue on the north side.
• Another rests on the wooden fence in front of a building in the east.
• The third is on a small rock in the pond below.

Shokokuji Temple

The Shokokuji Temple was built in the northern part of Kyoto. There are three Lost Pages to collect.

• One is in the large building directly below the viewpoint.
• Another is inside the building southeast of there.
• The third Lost Page is on top of the building south of the viewpoint. 

Kinkakuji Temple

If you follow the path north of Kyoto, it’ll lead you to Kinkakuji Temple. There are four Lost Pages to collect here.

• If you enter through the main gate in the east, the first is on the ground next to the path.
• The second is on the large building just behind the second (closed) gate.
• The third Lost Page is in the middle of the lake.
• The final Lost Page is in the tiny hut in the north, slightly uphill. Beware that this last one is easy to miss!

Ginkakuji Temple

The Ginkakuji Temple is situated near a lake, northeast of Kyoto. To find the two Lost Pages, stand with your back to the largest building and look towards the pond.

• The first Lost Page sits on the boulder on the other side.
• From there, cross the bridge to the left and look for the tree with the yellow markings; this is where you’ll find the other Lost Page.

Kuramadera Temple

The Kuramadera Temple is the northernmost temple in Yamashiro and houses two Lost Pages.

• One is directly below the viewpoint (on the roof).
• The other is next to a large tree, just south of the viewpoint. 

Byodoin Temple

The Byodoin Temple, found in the Ogura Pond area, contains two Lost Pages.

• The first is on the roof of the largest building (western peak).
• The second is on the small wooden terrace further north.

All Lost Pages in Omi

More than in Izumi Settsu, but not as many as in Yamashiro, you can visit five temples with Lost Pages in the northeastern region: Miidera Temple, Enryakuji Temple, Isakiji Temple, Hogonji Temple, and Daikichiji Temple. Don’t miss the one situated on the small island in Lake Biwa.

Miidera Temple

In the Mouth of Seta, the southern part of Omi, you can find the Miidera Temple. Look for three Lost Pages here.

• One is on the rooftop of the tall pagoda (largest building).
• One is on top of the southernmost building.
• One is on the ground, in the northernmost part of the temple grounds. 

Enryakuji Temple

West of Sakamoto lies the Enryakuji Temple. You’ll find three Lost Pages here, but beware that this complex is much larger than other temples.

• Upon arriving from the direction of Sakomoto, you’ll find the first Lost Page in the damaged attic, past the front gate and the first staircase.
• Continue up the stairs to the highest part of the temple grounds, and you’ll find another Lost Page inside the tower on the left.
• And another in the smaller ruin on the right.

Isakiji Temple

Isakiji Temple, located on the eastern shore of Lake Biwa, contains two Lost Pages.

• One is hidden above the large gong (bell) at the heart of the temple grounds.
• The other is on a boulder in the west, near the building closest to the lake.

Hogonji Temple

Hogonji Temple is built on the northernmost island within Lake Biwa. The two Lost Pages are on the rooftops of the two buildings west of the pagoda with the viewpoint.

• The first building is tiny (you can jump down to the haystack next to it).
• The other is the much larger one.

Daikichiji Temple

The Daikichiji Temple is found in the northeastern part of the map, not far from Nagahama. There are two Lost Pages here.

• As you follow the path upwards, to the highest part of the temple, you’ll see a small ruin on the left; this is where you’ll find the first Lost Page.
• When you reach the highest building, walk around it to the left and you’ll see a large tree; the second Lost Page is on one of its branches. 

All Lost Pages in Harima

When you visit the relatively small region of Harima, on the west side of the map, be sure to stop over at the four temples with Lost Pages: Kyokaiji Temple, . With only two or three pages each, they’re not as daunting as some of the temples in other regions.

Kyokaiji Temple

The Kyokaiji Temple is located in the northeastern corner of Harima, in Kamakura Valley. There are two Lost Pages here.

• The first is in the attic (or what’s left of it) of the large, run-down building directly below the Temple marker on the map.
• The second is behind the gear vendor.

Aga Hontokuji Temple

The Aga Hontokuji Temple is located in the southwestern corner of Harima. It houses two Lost Pages.

• The first is halfway up the roof of the largest central building.
• The second is on the large tree in the western part of the temple.

Tanjosan Myoyoji Temple

The Tanjosan Myoyoji Temple is a large temple complex on top of a hill in the Warfields, east Harima. You can find three Lost Pages here.

• The first Lost Page is inside the tallest building, on ground floor (below the viewpoint).
• The second one is in a damaged building southwest of the viewpoint, down the stairs.
• The third Lost Page is also on lower ground, but south of the viewpoint, on a table in a square courtyard, surrounded by red flags.

Mitsunodo Hall

The Mitsunodo Hall lies near the road north of Himeji Castle. You must collect two Lost Pages here.

• One is in the well-lit building to the left as you enter the temple grounds.
• The other is in the building ahead of you as you enter the temple. It’s on the balcony, right side.

All Lost Pages in Yamato

Yamato, the region east of Izumi Settsu, has three temples with Lost Pages. While that number seems relatively low, beware that each of them comes with three to four Lost Pages per temple, so there’s still a fair bit of searching involved.

Todaiji Temple

The Todaiji Temple is the northernmost temple in Yamato. It’s also the largest, so it’s no surprise that you must find four Lost Pages here. 

• The first two are on the ground floor of the two massive pagodas on either side of the entrance (southeastern and southwestern corner of the temple grounds). 
• The third Lost Page is on a rock in the northern part of the gardens.
• The fourth Lost Page is underneath the small wooden building in the northwestern corner.

Kofukuji Temple

The sizable Kofukuji Temple is another large complex located south of the Todaiji Temple and east of Koriyama. You must find three Lost Pages here.

• One is on the first balcony (second floor) of the most central building.
• Another one is on the highest floor of the tall pagoda in the southeast.
• The final Lost Page is hidden below the floor of the southwestern pagoda. You can crawl through a crack in the wood and grab it.

Nyoirinji Temple

The Nyoirinji Temple is situated between a Shrine and a Kuji-Kiri location. Even better; it has a viewpoint, so you can teleport there directly. This temple has three Lost Pages.

• The first is right next to the viewpoint, on the same tree branch. 
• The second Lost Page is on top of the large pagoda behind the viewpoint.
• The third is on top of the building behind the pagoda (the central one with the golden decorations).

All Lost Pages in Wakasa

The northern province of Wakasa covers a vast territory, yet it’s home to only two temples with Lost Pages. The Gokurakuji Temple is quite remote, but the Saifukuji Temple is close to the town of Sotomo Gate.

Gokurakuji Temple

The Gokurakuji Temple is the first building you’ll see if you ride north from Yamashiro. You must find two Lost Pages here. 

• The first Lost Page is easy to find; it’s on the first building you see as you enter the temple from the south.
• The second Lost Page is harder to locate as you need to follow the path that leads north from the main temple grounds. The Lost Page is a bit further uphill, inside the cave.

Saifukuji Temple

The Saifukuji Temple is situated in the hills southwest of Sotomo Gate, northern Wakasa. This temple holds two Lost Pages to collect.

• The first is on the balcony of the first building you see as you enter the temple grounds (arriving from the east). 
• The second is inside the westernmost building.
