Soulstones Guide: Usage in The First Berserker: Khazan

Embarking on an adventure in *The First Berserker: Khazan* can feel overwhelming, not just because of the intense combat but also due to the perilous environment. Let's dive into the role of Soulstones and how to harness their power in the game.

What Are Soulstones in The First Berserker: Khazan?

As you navigate through the world with Khazan, you'll encounter more than just hostile enemies. The landscape is littered with treasures, guarded pickups, and the distinctive red, glowing Soulstones. These stones are scattered throughout each level, often requiring you to use your platforming skills and keen observation to locate them. Don't just admire them—smash them using either melee attacks or your Javelin to collect their energy.

Once you reach The Crevice, the game's hub zone, you'll gain access to portals that lead to both past and new levels. Here, you can track the number of Soulstones available in each level, helping you plan your strategy to gather them all.

How To Use Soulstones in The First Berserker: Khazan

Each Soulstone you destroy contributes to a total count that you can use through the NPC Daphrona. You'll first meet Daphrona in the Embars Ruins – Forgotten Temple level. After clearing the level, she'll relocate to The Crevice's Nether realm, where you can interact with her.

Daphrona offers the option to "Unleash Soulstones," allowing you to enhance Khazan based on the number of Soulstones you've collected. You can choose to increase your Lacrima Gain, which aids in leveling up and boosting stats, or enhance your health recovery when using Netherworld Energy. Additionally, there might be other valuable buffs like attack or recovery enhancements, designed to give you an edge in the game's challenges.

It's wise to check back with Daphrona after destroying a few Soulstones to see if you've accumulated enough to unlock another beneficial upgrade.

That covers everything you need to know about Soulstones and how to use them in *The First Berserker: Khazan*. For more guidance, feel free to search for resources on The Escapist.
