Ascension is an experimental game mode that basically adds new challenge runs for added difficulty.
In order to unlock Ascension 1, you must have beaten all 3 of the Act 3 Bosses on this save file.
Winning a run in each Ascension will unlock the next Ascension for that character only.
Losing a run will NOT reset any progress or decrease your Ascension number.
You may only play the highest Ascension level you have unlocked; you cannot go back to a lower level.
