Embarking on the thrilling journey of *The First Berserker: Khazan* can be a daunting experience, not just because of the challenging combat but also due to the perilous environment you'll navigate. A key element to mastering this game is understanding Soulstones and how to leverage them effectively.

What Are Soulstones in The First Berserker: Khazan?

As you traverse through Khazan's world, you'll encounter various hazards and hidden treasures. Among these, you'll find the red, glowing Soulstones scattered throughout levels. These aren't just decorative; they play a crucial role in enhancing your gameplay. Discovering them often involves some platforming and keen observation. Once found, you must destroy them using either melee attacks or your Javelin's ranged attacks.

After unlocking The Crevice, the game's hub zone, and the portals to various levels, you can track how many Soulstones are available in each area. This helps in planning your exploration and maximizing your benefits.

How To Use Soulstones in The First Berserker: Khazan

Every Soulstone you destroy contributes to a total count that can be used with the NPC Daphrona. You'll first meet Daphrona in the Embars Ruins – Forgotten Temple level. She'll introduce you to the concept of the Netherworld and its leaking energy. After clearing this level, Daphrona moves to The Crevice, becoming accessible in the Nether realm.

When you speak to Daphrona, you can choose to "Unleash Soulstones." Depending on your accumulated Soulstones, you can enhance Khazan in several ways. Typically, you have the option to increase your Lacrima Gain, which aids in leveling up and boosting stats, or to enhance the health recovery from using Netherworld Energy. Additionally, there might be other valuable buffs like attack or recovery enhancements that give you a significant advantage in facing the game's challenges.

It's advisable to return to Daphrona frequently to check if you've gathered enough Soulstones for another beneficial upgrade.
