Ascension

After the first ascension.

Ascension is a mechanic in Cookie Clicker, which allows the player to reset progress but grants extra benefits on the next run, substantially speeding it up. The ascension screen can be accessed by the Legacy button, under the Info button.

Each ascension grants the difference between the old prestige and $(x/1trillion)$^$(1/3)$ where x is the amount of cookies baked all time, or in other words, the cube root of cookies baked all time in terms of trillions.

A prestige level grants a +1% boost to CpS. This stacks additively for every prestige level.

Reincarnating will return to the main game with ascension upgrades, though Challenge Mode may be turned on beforehand, starting the ascension as though a new game had begun (upon ascending again, everything returns to normal).

Heavenly Chips

Heavenly Chips is the currency used to buy Heavenly Upgrades. These upgrades Heavenly Chips and affect and persist through all subsequent ascensions. The ratio between Prestige Level gain and Heavenly Chip gain is 1:1.

Upgrade Tree

These are the heavenly upgrades you can buy. The upgrades you buy here will never be deleted (unless you wipe your save or use Cheating).

Angel and Demon Upgrades

The regular upgrades Fortune #102 (1%), Fern tea (3%), and Ichor syrup (7%) also affect offline production. With all upgrades, offline production is 91% for 7 days, 8 hours. During offline cookie production, wrinklers are dormant and CpS is not withered.

For Synergies Vol. I you need at least 227,824 Heavenly chips.
For Synergies Vol. II you need at least 2,718,958 Heavenly chips.
For Chimera you need at least 44,719,651 Heavenly chips.

Additional Information

Before ascending, buy the Chocolate egg, and make sure to get as many achievements as possible (usually building achievements) for more milk next ascension. Keep in mind that the progress for popping wrinklers and reindeer aren't kept through ascensions.

• Making your first ascension at 365 heavenly chips allows for the purchase of:
  • Legacy and How to Bake Your Dragon
  • Heavenly cookies and the four boxes of cookies EXCEPT for the tin of butter cookies (the cookies are too expensive to be purchased in the second ascension)
  • Heralds and Heavenly Luck
  • Permanent upgrade slot 1 (insert your highest Kitten upgrade)
  • Note: As soon as 1 grandma is purchased after ascending, there will be a great boost in CPS, making progression much easier and faster.

• After the first ascension, make sure to ascend at 2185 (or 2550 total prestige) for:
  • Tin of Butter Cookies
  • Starter kit
  • Season Switcher
  • Golden Switch

• After this, it is no longer very important to strictly follow milestones to reach per ascension. If you still wish to do so, a reliable guide for such is here.
• Some of the important upgrades to reach, in increasing prices, are:
  • Kitten Angels
  • Synergies Vol.I
  • Golden Cookie Alert Sound
  • Synergies Vol.II
  • Unshackled Cursors
  • Lucky Payout
  • Permanent Upgrade Slots
  • Fortune Cookies
  • Box of Not Cookies, Box of Maybe Cookies, Box of Pastries
  • Unshackled Glimmeringue
  • Unshackled You

• Purchasing all heavenly upgrades costs a total of 74,938,145,064,647,592 heavenly chips, which requires 420,832 novemdecillion cookies baked.
• Golden Switch is calculated using current CPS, so activating it during a Clot halves the price. Likewise, activating it during an Elder Frenzy multiplies the price by 666. Wrinklers do not have any effect on the price.
• The flavor text for the Lasting Fortune upgrade is a reference to the SpongeBob SquarePants episode "Rock bottom". The original quote from SpongeBob was: "This isn't your average everyday darkness. This is... advanced darkness."
• The flavor text for the "Obliterate" achievement, "Resistance is futile, albeit entertaining," is a reference to Star Trek.
• The flavor text for the Classic Dairy Selection, "don't have a cow" is Bart Simpson's catchphrase in The Simpsons.
• The Heavenly Upgrades 'Halo Gloves,' 'Aura Gloves,' 'Luminous Gloves,' 'And Five Finger Discount' all cost amounts of heavenly chips that are simply 5 repeating a certain number of times. This could be a reference to the number of fingers on one human hand, 5.
• "How to bake your dragon" is a reference to Cressida Cowell's book and the subsequent animated movie, "How to Train Your Dragon".
• Persistent memory was added in v1.0466 as a non-heavenly upgrade, but it was made into a prestige upgrade after Orteil had decided it was too overpowered (it was unlocked after only one research).
• "Five-Fingered Discount" is American slang for the act of Shoplifting.
• Beelzebub is a modern-day name for the devil. In some older Christian dictionaries, it is called the "Lord of the Flies", hence the strange icon that looks like the eyes of a fly. (Not to be confused with William Golding's book.)
• "Elder Spice" is a reference to the product "Old Spice", and its description "The cookie your cookie could smell like", is a reference to a line spoken in one of their commercials.
• "To crumbs you say?" and its flavor text is a reference to a popular line from Futurama, where Professor Farnsworth says "To shreds you say? Very well, then."
• The flavor text for "Nihilism" is a reference to the YouTube series Ratboy Genius, specifically "RBG Dreams Minecraft Interlude - HAPPY FACTORY", in which the character Little King John sings the line "There are many things that need to be erased."
• The flavor text of Kitten Angels ("All cats go to heaven.") is a reference to the animated series All Dogs Go to Heaven.
• The flavor text of Golden switch ("Less clicking. More idling.") could possibly be a reference to Spirit Airlines' slogan ("Less money. More go.") Spirit Airlines is an American "ultra-low cost" carrier based in Fort Lauderdale. However, it may not be, as "less x, more y" is also found in other places.
• The achievement, "He who controls the cookies controls the universe" is a reference to the famous line, "He who controls the spice controls the universe," in the book Dune.  The achievement's description is a reference to the line, "The spice must flow."
• The achievement, "The dreams in which I'm baking are the best I've ever had." is a reference to the Tears for Fears song "Mad World", which contains the line "The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had."
• The achievement "In the Mouth of Madness"  is also the title of the psychological Lovecraftian horror film from 1994 written by Michael De Luca, the achievement's description is also indirectly referencing the famous line "A reality is just what we tell each other it is." uttered by one of the movie's main characters.
• The "The land of milk and cookies" achievement is a reference to the Bible, which refers to Israel as the land of milk and honey.
  • It may also be a reference to The Land of Milk and Cookies from Sharkboy and Lavagirl.
  • Another possible reference may be the webcomic Homestuck, in which a character trait involves 'Land of ___ and ___'
• The achievement, "The end of the world" and the description, "(as we know it)" are a reference to a song by R.E.M. called "It's the End of the World as We Know It".
• Clicking on the cookie as it breaks during ascension still makes the clicking sound until the ascension tree shows up (as of v 2.0106)
• Display boxes for buffs and debuffs are still shown until the ascension tree shows up (as of v 2.0106).
• The flavor text for the achievement "Endless cycle" could be a reference to the same line from the popular video game Portal 2, in which GLaDOS, a keynote character, is quoted saying the same line to the player character.
• The flavor text for the "Heralds" upgrade is a reference to a quote from the movie Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure: "Be excellent to each other. And party on, dudes!"
• The icon and description for the upgrade "Tin of butter cookies" are based on the Royal Dansk brand of cookies, whose cookies come in large tins, and are placed in small paper cups inside the tins. The five upgrades unlocked through "Tin of butter cookies" are all based on cookies made by Royal Dansk.
• The flavor text of "Eye of the wrinkler" ("Just a wrinkler and its will to survive. Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry.") is a reference to the song Eye Of The Tiger, made by the rock band Survivor. The song contains the line: "Just a man and his will to survive." and "Hanging tough, staying hungry."
• When "Kitten Angels" is bought, it shows as "Purrchased" instead of "Purchased".
• Ascension clears your Garden crops, but does not reset your seed log or garden size.
• The flavor text for "Kitten Wages" is a reference to the 'Cats Can Have Little a Salami' meme. The flavor text is a slightly altered version of the original meme; "Cats can have little a salami. Cats are expert hunters and have a keen sense of smell, especially in the case of meat."
• The flavor text for "If at first you don't succeed" is a reference to "Far Cry 3", where the secondary antagonist of the game Vaas Montenegro describes to the player the definiton of insanity being "Doing the same thing, over and over again, expecting shit to change", this line has also become popular in meme culture.
• The flavor text for the unshackled temples upgrade ("You can make a religion out of this") is likely a reference to a frequent quote from Bill Wurtz's "history of the entire world I guess."
• The flavor text for the unshackled cortex bakers upgrade ("Nothing is real. Everything is permitted.") is a reference to the Assasins Creed's maxim and primary guideline: ("Nothing is true; everything is permitted").
