Stepping into the world of *The First Berserker: Khazan* can be an exhilarating yet challenging experience, where not only the combat but also the environment poses significant threats. Among the many elements you'll encounter, Soulstones play a crucial role. Here's a detailed look at 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 journey with Khazan, you'll encounter various hazards, including ambushes by enemies. However, the environment holds more than just threats; it's also filled with valuable resources. Among these are the red, glowing Soulstones, which you can find scattered throughout levels. Discovering these stones often requires keen observation and adept platforming skills.
It's important not to overlook these Soulstones. Rather than admiring them, you need to destroy them using either melee attacks or your Javelin's ranged capabilities. Once you reach The Crevice hub zone and gain access to portals leading to various levels, you'll be able to track the number of Soulstones available in each area.
How To Use Soulstones in The First Berserker: Khazan
Each Soulstone you destroy contributes to a total count that you can utilize through an NPC named Daphrona. You'll first meet Daphrona in the Embars Ruins – Forgotten Temple level. She provides crucial information about the Netherworld and the leaking energy. After you clear the level, Daphrona moves to The Crevice, where she becomes 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 enhancing stats, or increase the health recovery rate when using Netherworld Energy.
Additionally, there may be other valuable buffs available, such as enhancements to attack or recovery, which can significantly improve your chances of overcoming the perils of Khazan's journey. It's advisable to return to Daphrona frequently after destroying Soulstones to see if you've accumulated enough to unlock new benefits.
