Venturing into the gripping world of *The First Berserker: Khazan* can be an exhilarating yet challenging experience. Beyond the intense combat, the environment itself poses significant dangers. Among the various elements you'll encounter, Soulstones stand out as crucial items for enhancing your journey. Let's delve into what Soulstones are and how to effectively use them in *The First Berserker: Khazan*.
What Are Soulstones in The First Berserker: Khazan?
As you embark on your adventure with Khazan, you'll need to be vigilant. Enemies may be lurking in ambush, but the environment also hides valuable items like treasure chests and hard-to-reach pick-ups. Among these, you'll spot the distinctive red, glowing Soulstones. Scattered throughout levels, these stones demand keen observation and skillful platforming to locate. However, don't just admire them—destroy each Soulstone you find using melee attacks or your Javelin's ranged attacks.
Once you reach The Crevice, the game's hub zone, and access the portals to explore past and new 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 destroyed Soulstone contributes to a total count that you can utilize with the help of the NPC, Daphrona. You'll first meet Daphrona in the Embars Ruins – Forgotten Temple level, where she'll brief you on the Netherworld and the leaking energy. After successfully clearing the level, Daphrona relocates to The Crevice, becoming accessible in the Nether realm.
Interacting with Daphrona allows you to "Unleash Soulstones." Depending on your accumulated Soulstones, you can enhance Khazan in various ways. Typically, you can choose to boost your Lacrima Gain, aiding in faster leveling and stat improvements, or increase the health recovery from using Netherworld Energy.
Additionally, other valuable buffs such as attack or recovery enhancements might be available, offering you a strategic advantage against the perils of Khazan's journey. Whenever you've destroyed a few Soulstones, it's wise to return to Daphrona to see if you've gathered enough for another beneficial upgrade.
