Hell Clock Constellation Points Guide
Written by Michael Owen | Hell Clock
Constellation Points are the only permanent power you keep when switching to Ascension mode. They carry over between runs, even as your gear and relics reset, and they define how strong your character can become in high Hell Levels.
What Constellation Points Do
Constellation Points unlock permanent bonuses on a grid divided into three paths: Faith, Discipline, and Fury. Faith improves magic and energy skills, Discipline boosts defense and utility, and Fury increases physical damage and melee speed.
You can mix points between paths to create hybrid builds instead of being locked into fixed classes.
How to Get Constellation Points
You earn four points by finishing the main campaign. Extra points come from Constellation shrines inside Ascension runs and from Promise missions, which are long-term goals. These are the only progression elements that remain after resets, so farming them early is key to long-term success.
Constellation Points and Ascension
Ascension mode wipes your campaign progress but keeps Constellation Points. These points determine how many Penances you can activate, which increase difficulty and rewards. Beating higher Hell Levels unlocks even harder tiers, pushing your constellation setup to its limit.
Hell 10 unlocks Hell 25, then Hell 35, and finally Hell 100 for the toughest challenge.
Best Way to Spend Points
Start with basic survivability and mana efficiency nodes. Add damage nodes once your build is stable. Hybrid setups that use parts of all three paths work well for testing different playstyles. Points can be reassigned between runs, so experiment until you find what works best.
Why Campaign Still Matters
The campaign acts as a tutorial and story mode. Beating it not only gives you your first Constellation Points but also unlocks direct access to Ascension mode for future saves, making hardcore play easier.
While it resets each time, the constellation progress stays, letting you focus fully on endgame builds.
Final Blurb
Constellation Points are Hell Clock’s core endgame progression. Earn them in the campaign, collect shrines, and complete Promise missions to expand your permanent bonuses.
A strong constellation layout makes higher Hell Levels and harder Penances manageable, keeping your builds flexible and powerful.
