Ancient Souls are the highest obtainable currency used in Clicker Heroes, obtained by Transcending.
Obtaining Ancient Souls[]
After level 300, you will unlock the Transcension tab, marked by a levitating eyeball, the Ancient Soul symbol. In it are the Outsiders as well as the 'Transcend' button. By pressing the button, you will sacrifice your Gold, Heroes, Ancients, Hero Souls, Relics, Forge Cores and Gilds (except for Gilds purchased with Rubies, which are restored gradually) in order to receive Transcendent Power and a certain amount of Ancient Souls.
The sum of the unspent and spent (on Ancients) Hero Souls defines the number of Ancient Souls that will be earned this way. This follows the logarithmic equation:
AS = floor(5 × log_10(total Hero Souls sacrificed))
In other words, if you have scientific notation on, every time the number after e increases by 1, you gain 5 more ancient souls after transcending
The table below shows some of the Hero Souls costs between your 1st and 100th Ancient Soul.

Spending Ancient Souls[]
Ancient Souls can be spent on the Outsiders to help speed up gameplay. In contrast to Hero Souls, unspent Ancient Souls don't provide any bonuses, so you should always make sure to spend every Ancient Soul you have available. Below is a table with a summarized explanation for each Outsider:
Name | Effect | Maximum Level |
---|---|---|
Xyliqil | + (1.5level × 100 - 100)% effectiveness of all idle bonuses. | None |
Chor'gorloth | - ((1 - 0.95level)× 100)% Ancient cost. | 150 |
Phandoryss | + (level × 100%) DPS. | None |
Ponyboy | + (level2 × 1000)% more Hero Souls from Primal Bosses. | None |
Borb | + 12.5% Effectiveness of Kumawakamaru per level. | None |
Rhageist | + 25% Effectiveness of Atman per level. | None |
K'Ariqua | + 50% Effectiveness of Bubos per level. | None |
Orphalas | + 75% Effectiveness of Chronos per level. | None |
Sen-Akhan | + 100% Effectiveness of Dora per level. | None |
Transcendent power increases the number of Primal Hero Souls dropped, with a higher bonus at higher zones.
