Growth knowledge entry discovered!! (Post story)
I see a lot of players (including myself) have had trouble finding the knowledge entry “growth” under quests —> guide —> guide after they have completed the story. I just found it and wanted to share how in hopes that it saves someone else a headache.
I can confirm it is NOT linked to the letter from Alustin that is obtained during the early story quest “the words of Alustin”. It is a different letter that has this knowledge.
I went to the location called beggar’s end just west of Oakenshield manor in hernand town. I then started giving coins to all of the beggars there (not sure how many you need to donate to but I was just spamming to see if anything triggered). After about 6 or so, a mini cutscene triggered of a beggar giving me a letter that, when read using L1/LB, gives the “growth” knowledge entry.
Truly hope this helps somebody.
