"Soulstones in The First Berserker: Khazan - Usage Guide"

Embarking on the adventure in *The First Berserker: Khazan* can be an exhilarating yet challenging experience, not just because of the intense combat but also due to the perilous environment. Among the many elements you'll encounter, Soulstones play a crucial role. Here's a comprehensive guide on what Soulstones are and how to effectively use them in *The First Berserker: Khazan*.

What Are Soulstones in The First Berserker: Khazan?

As you navigate through the game with Khazan, you'll need to be vigilant not only for ambushes but also for various items scattered throughout the levels. Among these, you'll find treasure chests, guarded or hard-to-reach pick-ups, and the distinctive red, glowing Soulstones. These stones are scattered across the levels and require keen observation and some platforming skills to locate. Don't just admire them; you must destroy each Soulstone using either melee attacks or your Javelin's ranged capabilities.

Once you reach The Crevice, the game's hub zone, and gain access to portals that allow travel to different levels, you'll be able to track the number of Soulstones available in each level.

How To Use Soulstones in The First Berserker: Khazan

Each 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, where she'll explain the Netherworld and its leaking energy. After clearing the level, Daphrona moves to The Crevice, becoming accessible in the Nether realm.

When you interact with Daphrona, you'll have the option to "Unleash Soulstones." The number of Soulstones you've collected determines the enhancements you can apply to Khazan. Typically, you can choose to boost your Lacrima Gain, which aids in leveling up and improving stats, or increase the health recovery from using Netherworld Energy. Additionally, there might be other valuable buffs available, such as attack or recovery enhancements, which can give you a significant advantage in facing the challenges ahead.

It's advisable to return to Daphrona frequently after destroying Soulstones to see if you've accumulated enough for another beneficial upgrade.

That's everything you need to know about Soulstones and their usage in *The First Berserker: Khazan*. For further guidance on the game, feel free to explore resources on The Escapist.
