Diving into the immersive world of *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 everything you need to know about what Soulstones are and how to utilize them effectively in *The First Berserker: Khazan*.

What Are Soulstones in The First Berserker: Khazan?

As you embark on your journey with Khazan, you'll need to keep an eye out for more than just ambushing enemies. Scattered across levels, you'll find various items like treasure chests and guarded pick-ups, but the red, glowing Soulstones are particularly noteworthy. These stones require keen observation and some platforming skills to locate. Once found, they must be destroyed using either melee attacks or ranged attacks with the Javelin.

After unlocking the hub zone, The Crevice, and its portals to explore past and new levels, you can track how many Soulstones are available in each level. This feature helps in planning your route and maximizing your collection of these valuable resources.

How To Use Soulstones in The First Berserker: Khazan

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

When you interact with Daphrona, you'll have the option to "Unleash Soulstones." Depending on your Soulstone count, you can choose to enhance Khazan in various ways. The primary choices are increasing your Lacrima Gain, which aids in leveling up and boosting stats, or enhancing the health recovery from using Netherworld Energy. Additionally, there might be other valuable buffs, such as attack or recovery enhancements, all designed to give you an edge in Khazan's dangerous journey. It's wise to revisit Daphrona after destroying a few Soulstones to see if you've accumulated enough for another beneficial upgrade.

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