As you begin your adventure with Khazan, be prepared to encounter numerous threats, from ambushes by enemies to hidden dangers scattered throughout the levels. Among the various items you'll come across, the red, glowing Soulstones are particularly noteworthy. These stones can be found scattered across levels, often requiring some platforming skills and keen observation to locate them. Don't just admire them; you need to actively destroy each Soulstone you find using melee attacks or your Javelin for ranged destruction.

Once you reach the hub zone known as The Crevice and unlock portals to access different levels, you'll be able to track the number of Soulstones available in each area. This helps in planning your route and maximizing your collection efforts.

Every Soulstone you destroy contributes to a total count that you can use with the NPC Daphrona. You'll first meet Daphrona in the Embars Ruins – Forgotten Temple level, where she'll introduce you to the concept of the Netherworld and the leaking energy. After successfully completing the level, she'll relocate to The Crevice in the Nether realm, making her services more accessible.

When you interact with Daphrona, you can choose to "Unleash Soulstones." Depending on how many Soulstones you've collected, you'll have various options to enhance Khazan's abilities. The primary choices are to boost your Lacrima Gain, which aids in leveling up and improving stats, or to increase the health recovery you receive from using Netherworld Energy.

Additionally, there might be other valuable buffs available, such as enhancements to attack or recovery, which can provide a significant advantage as you navigate Khazan's perilous journey. It's advisable to check back with Daphrona regularly after destroying Soulstones to see if you've accumulated enough to unlock another beneficial upgrade.

That covers 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.
