Soulstones Guide: Usage in The First Berserker: Khazan

Embarking on the adventure in *The First Berserker: Khazan* can be overwhelming, not just because of the tough combat, but also due to the hazardous environment you'll navigate. Let's dive into the role of Soulstones in this game and how you can leverage them to enhance your journey.

What Are Soulstones in The First Berserker: Khazan?

As you begin your journey with Khazan, you'll encounter various elements to watch out for. Beyond the enemies that might ambush you, the landscape is dotted with treasure chests, guarded or hard-to-reach pick-ups, and the crucial red, glowing Soulstones.

These Soulstones are scattered throughout levels and require keen observation and some platforming skills to locate. Don't just admire them; you need to destroy them using either melee attacks or your Javelin. Once you reach The Crevice hub zone and unlock portals to revisit and explore new levels, you'll get a clearer picture of the total number of Soulstones available in each area.

How To Use Soulstones in The First Berserker: Khazan

Each Soulstone you destroy contributes to a cumulative total, which you can use through the NPC Daphrona. You'll first meet Daphrona in the Embars Ruins – Forgotten Temple level, where she'll explain the Netherworld and its leaking energy. After clearing the level, she'll relocate to The Crevice in the Nether realm, making herself available for interaction.

When you speak to Daphrona, you'll have the option to 'Unleash Soulstones.' The number of Soulstones you've collected determines the enhancements you can apply to Khazan. The standard choices are increasing your Lacrima Gain, which aids in leveling up and boosting stats, or enhancing the health recovery from using Netherworld Energy. In addition, you might unlock other valuable buffs, such as attack or recovery boosts, to give you an edge against the challenges ahead. It's wise to revisit Daphrona regularly to see if you've amassed enough Soulstones for additional benefits.
