Among these treasures are the enigmatic Soulstones, crucial for enhancing your gameplay experience. Let's delve into what Soulstones are and how to effectively use them in *The First Berserker: Khazan*.

What Are Soulstones in The First Berserker: Khazan?

As you navigate through the world with Khazan, you'll encounter various elements, from lurking enemies to valuable items scattered across the levels. Among these, you'll spot the red, glowing Soulstones. These stones are not mere decorations; they are essential collectibles that require your attention. To gather them, you'll need to employ both your platforming skills and keen observation. Once you locate a Soulstone, it's imperative to destroy it using either melee attacks or your Javelin's ranged capabilities.

After unlocking The Crevice, your hub zone, and accessing the portals to different levels, you'll gain a clearer picture of the Soulstone distribution across the game. This knowledge will help you plan your collection strategy more effectively.

How To Use Soulstones in The First Berserker: Khazan

Every Soulstone you destroy contributes to a cumulative total, which you can utilize through interactions with the NPC Daphrona. You'll first meet Daphrona in the Embars Ruins – Forgotten Temple level. She will guide you through the intricacies of the Netherworld and its leaking energy. Once you clear this level, Daphrona will relocate to The Crevice, becoming accessible in the Nether realm.

When you speak to Daphrona, you'll have the option to "Unleash Soulstones." Depending on the number of Soulstones you've collected, you can choose to enhance Khazan in various ways. The primary options include boosting your Lacrima Gain, which aids in leveling up and improving stats, or increasing the health recovery from using Netherworld Energy. Additionally, you might unlock other valuable buffs, such as attack or recovery enhancements, which can significantly improve your chances against the perils of Khazan's journey.

It's advisable to check back with Daphrona frequently after destroying Soulstones to see if you've amassed enough to unlock new benefits. This strategic use of Soulstones can greatly enhance your gameplay and give you a competitive edge.
