The tabs that switch you between heroes, achievements, and stats, a new tab will unlock at some point (if not unlocked already). The tab is a triangle with an eye. In that tab is a button that says summon ancients. You click that button and the ancients are summoned. I can't recall, but I think there is a prompt asking if you are certain you want to summon an ancient.
1.) Ancients cost Hero Souls.
2.) Hero Souls are earned in a few different ways.
- One hero soul is obtained every 2,000 combined hero levels. This means every time you level up a hero you are one level closer to getting a hero soul.
If you have a combined hero level of 4,000 that will net you 2 hero souls.
If you have a combined hero level of 6,000 that will net you 3 hero souls and so forth.
- Hero souls are also reward for the first time you defeat a centurion boss. A centurion boss is any boss at a levell that is a multiple of 100. So, centurion bosses occur at level 100, level 200, level 300, level 400, level 500, and so forth.
- After level 100, every boss stage (example, level 105, 110, 115, 120, 125, etc.) has a chance of spawning a primal boss. The first time you enter a boss stage (above level 100) will determine whether or not the boss is a primal. If the boss is not a primal boss upon entering the stage, it will never be a primal boss upon subsequent respwans.
If the boss is a primal boss, the boss will remain a primal until defeating it. If you fail to defeat the boss it will remain a primal boss. Upon defeating the boss you will gain the hero souls and the boss will return to a normal boss. You only gain it's hero souls once.
(Note: Ascending will reset your chance for primal bosses. So, if you defeat a primal boss on level 125, then a normal boss at level 130, play to level 141, and then ascend. On that next run (after your ascension), you will have another chance that level 125 be a primal boss again. Also, level 130 could be a primal boss on the next run.)
3.) You must ascend in order to gain the hero souls you have been awarded.
The game will say "Ascend for + X (amount of Hero Souls)" underneath were the total number of hero souls you have.
4.) You ascend by purchasing, for gold, the skill "Ascension" from the hero Amenhotep.
- It requires that Amenhotp be level 150, before you can purchase the "Ascension" skill.
- The "Ascension" skill costs 19,200q.
- Upon clicking the "Ascension" skill, the game will prompt you saying:
"Are you sure you want to Ascend to gain Hero Souls? This will RESET your game, and you will start a new game with X more Hero Souls."
X more Hero Souls, being the number of current hero souls you have earned in that run.
If you click "yes", you will be awarded the hero souls you have gained, the game will reset to level 1. You will lose all your heroes and any DPS bonuses you have gained from using Abbadon's Dark Ritual skill. However, you will keep all your DPS bonuses from achievements and each hero soul you have will give you 10% bonus to DPS.
Hopefully this helps.
