Embarking on the adventure in *The First Berserker: Khazan* can be overwhelming, not just because of the intense combat but also due to the perilous environment. Let's dive into what Soulstones are and how you can utilize them to enhance your journey.
What Are Soulstones in The First Berserker: Khazan?
As you navigate through the world with Khazan, you'll encounter various hazards, including ambushes by enemies. However, the environment also holds treasures like chests and hard-to-reach pick-ups. Among these, you'll find the red, glowing Soulstones scattered throughout the levels. These stones aren't just for show; you need to actively seek them out, often requiring some platforming skills and keen observation. Once spotted, destroy them using either melee attacks or your Javelin's ranged capabilities.
After unlocking The Crevice hub zone and its portals, you'll gain a clearer view of the Soulstone distribution across different levels, helping you plan your collection strategy more effectively.
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, where she'll explain the Netherworld and its leaking energy. After clearing the level, she'll move to The Crevice, accessible in the Nether realm.
When you speak to 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, you might unlock other valuable buffs like attack or recovery enhancements, giving you a significant advantage in facing the challenges ahead.
It's wise to check back with Daphrona regularly after destroying Soulstones to see if you've gathered enough for another beneficial upgrade.
