Soulstones Guide: Usage in The First Berserker: Khazan
Embarking on the adventure in *The First Berserker: Khazan* can be exhilarating yet challenging, with dangers lurking not only in combat but also within the environment itself. Among the various elements you'll encounter, Soulstones play a crucial role in 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 navigate through the world with Khazan, you'll need to be vigilant not only of the enemies lying in ambush but also of the various collectibles scattered around. Among these, you'll find treasure chests, guarded pick-ups, and the distinctive red, glowing stones known as Soulstones. These Soulstones are scattered throughout levels and often require keen observation and some platforming skills to locate. However, they are not meant to be admired; instead, you must destroy them using either melee attacks or your Javelin.
Once you unlock The Crevice hub zone and the portals that allow travel to past and new levels, you'll be able to track the number of Soulstones available on each level, adding an extra layer of exploration and strategy to your gameplay.
How to Use Soulstones in The First Berserker: Khazan
Every Soulstone you destroy contributes to a total 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 situation regarding the Netherworld and its leaking energy. After successfully clearing the level, Daphrona relocates to The Crevice, accessible in the Nether realm.
When you interact with Daphrona, you'll have the option to "Unleash Soulstones." Depending on the number of Soulstones you've collected, you can enhance Khazan in various ways. The primary options include boosting your Lacrima Gain, which aids in leveling up and stat improvements, or increasing the amount of health you recover each time you use Netherworld Energy.
Additionally, there might be other valuable buffs available, such as attack or recovery enhancements, which are designed to give you a competitive edge as you face the perils of Khazan's journey. It's advisable to return to Daphrona periodically after destroying Soulstones to check if you've accumulated enough for another beneficial upgrade.
