Soulstones in The First Berserker: Khazan - Usage Guide

Stepping into the immersive world of *The First Berserker: Khazan* can be an exhilarating yet challenging experience. Beyond the intense combat, the game's environment is brimming with both peril and opportunity. Here’s a detailed guide on what Soulstones are and how you can utilize them to enhance your journey with Khazan.

What Are Soulstones in The First Berserker: Khazan?

As you embark on your adventure with Khazan, vigilance is key. Not only must you be wary of ambushes from enemies, but you should also keep an eye out for various collectibles scattered throughout the levels. Among these are the conspicuous red, glowing Soulstones. These items are not just for show; they play a crucial role in enhancing your gameplay.

Soulstones are hidden treasures that require keen observation and some platforming skills to locate. Upon discovery, they must be destroyed using either melee attacks or ranged Javelin strikes. As you progress and gain access to The Crevice hub zone and its portals, you'll be able to track the number of Soulstones available in each level, adding a strategic element to your exploration.

How To Use Soulstones in The First Berserker: Khazan

Each Soulstone you destroy contributes to a total count that can be used through interactions with the NPC Daphrona. You'll first meet Daphrona in the Embars Ruins – Forgotten Temple level, where she'll provide insights into the Netherworld and its leaking energy. After clearing the level, Daphrona relocates to The Crevice, accessible within the Nether realm.

When you speak with Daphrona, you'll have the option to "Unleash Soulstones." Depending on the number of Soulstones accumulated, you can choose from various enhancements for Khazan. The primary choices include increasing your Lacrima Gain, which aids in leveling up and boosting stats, or enhancing the amount of health recovered each time you utilize Netherworld Energy.

Additionally, there might be other valuable buffs available, such as attack or recovery boosts, which can significantly improve your performance against the challenges you face. It's advisable to revisit Daphrona periodically after destroying Soulstones to see if you've collected enough to unlock further benefits.
