How to unlock the Adept Knight achievement in Dead by Daylight - Definitive Guide
Getting adept requires "Double pipping" during a match. This means your total emblem points for the four categories must be 14 or higher depending on your monthly rank. Emblems are awarded for reaching certain thresholds per category.
Check the wiki if you want to know exactly which actions count toward your emblem points:

Adept Knight involves using only his initial three perks, which are:
Nowhere to Hide - When you kick a generator, auras of all survivors in 24 meters are shown for 3/4/5 seconds.
Hex: Face the Darkness - When you injure a survivor by any means, a dull totem activates and curses that survivor. They scream every 35/30/25 seconds if they're outside of your terror radius and reveal their aura for 2 seconds.
Hubris - Whenever you are stunned by a survivor, that survivor suffers from exposed for 10/15/20 seconds.
I recommend getting Nowhere to Hide up to rank three before trying for adept. Many players have not yet adjusted to the perk and will still try to hide rather than run away whenever you go to kick a generator.
General Adept Advice:
Devout emblem: You will need to get as many hook actions as possible so try to hook and leave so that the other players can unhook. You'll want to try to get three hooks on as many people as possible. You still get credit for a kill even if they disconnect, but you do miss out on the points for a hook action.
Gatekeeper Emblem: You earn gatekeeper points every minute for the first 9 minutes, so set a timer and be sure not to win too swiftly.
it's best to attempt Adepts soon after ranks reset on the 13th of each month because you only need 14 pips to reach merciless at Ash and Bronze ranks while you'll need 15 at silver and gold and the full 16 at iridescent.
Good luck, see you in the fog!
