Soulstones in The First Berserker: Khazan - Usage Guide

Stepping into the world of *The First Berserker: Khazan* can feel overwhelming, and it's not just the challenging combat that awaits. The environment itself is brimming with dangers. Let's explore what Soulstones are and how to use them effectively in *The First Berserker: Khazan*.

What Are Soulstones in The First Berserker: Khazan?

As you embark on your journey with Khazan, you'll need to keep an eye out for more than just enemies lying in ambush. The world is scattered with various items, including treasure chests, hard-to-reach pickups, and the distinctive red, glowing Soulstones. These Soulstones are scattered throughout each level, often requiring some skillful platforming and keen observation to locate. Don't just admire them; you must destroy each one using either melee attacks or your Javelin's ranged capabilities.

Once you reach The Crevice, the hub zone, and access the portals to travel between levels, you'll be able to track the number of Soulstones available in each area. This will help you plan your exploration and ensure you don't miss any of these valuable resources.

How To Use Soulstones in The First Berserker: Khazan

Every Soulstone you destroy contributes to a total count that can be utilized through the NPC Daphrona. You'll first meet Daphrona in the Embars Ruins – Forgotten Temple level. She will explain the situation regarding the Netherworld and its leaking energy. After successfully clearing this level, Daphrona will relocate to The Crevice and become 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 enhance Khazan in various ways. Typically, you can choose to increase your Lacrima Gain, which aids in leveling up and boosting stats, or enhance the amount of health you recover each time you use Netherworld Energy.

Additionally, there might be other valuable buffs available, such as attack or recovery enhancements, all designed to give you a competitive edge on Khazan's perilous journey. It's beneficial to revisit Daphrona frequently after destroying Soulstones to see if you've accumulated enough for another beneficial upgrade.
