Embarking on an adventure in *The First Berserker: Khazan* can feel overwhelming, with not only intense combat but also a treacherous environment to navigate. Understanding the role of Soulstones can significantly enhance your gameplay experience. 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 navigate the perilous world of *The First Berserker: Khazan*, you'll encounter various elements, from ambushing enemies to valuable items scattered throughout the levels. Among these, you'll find red, glowing stones known as Soulstones. These stones are not mere collectibles; they are crucial for enhancing your character's abilities.
Soulstones are typically hidden and require keen observation and some platforming skills to locate. Once found, they must be destroyed using melee attacks or by throwing your Javelin. After unlocking The Crevice hub zone, you'll have access to portals that allow you to revisit levels and track the number of Soulstones available in each.
How To Use Soulstones in The First Berserker: Khazan
Each Soulstone you destroy contributes to a cumulative total, which you can utilize through interactions with the NPC Daphrona. You'll first meet Daphrona in the Embars Ruins – Forgotten Temple level. After clearing this level, she moves to The Crevice, accessible in the Nether realm, where she explains the significance of the Netherworld and its leaking energy.
By speaking to Daphrona, you can choose to "Unleash Soulstones." The number of Soulstones you've collected determines the enhancements you can apply to Khazan. Typically, you have two primary options: boosting your Lacrima Gain to aid in leveling up and enhancing your stats, or increasing the amount of health you recover with each use of Netherworld Energy.
Additionally, you might unlock more powerful buffs, such as increased attack or recovery rates, which can give you a significant advantage in the challenging world of Khazan. It's advisable to check back with Daphrona regularly after destroying Soulstones to see if you've accumulated enough to unlock new benefits.
