Stepping into the immersive world of *The First Berserker: Khazan* can be both thrilling and challenging. Beyond the intense combat, the game's environment is filled with potential dangers and valuable resources. Among these, Soulstones stand out as crucial items that can significantly enhance your gameplay experience. 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 journey with Khazan, you'll encounter various elements scattered throughout the levels. While you should be vigilant for ambushing enemies, keep an eye out for treasure chests, guarded pick-ups, and the distinctive red, glowing Soulstones. These stones are not just decorative; they are essential to your progression.
Soulstones are scattered across the levels, often requiring some platforming skills and keen observation to locate. Once found, you need to destroy them using either melee attacks or your Javelin for ranged combat. After gaining access to The Crevice hub zone and its portals, you'll be able to track the number of Soulstones available in each level, making it easier to collect them all.
How To Use Soulstones in The First Berserker: Khazan
Every Soulstone you destroy contributes to a total count that you can use 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 clearing the level, Daphrona will move to The Crevice, becoming accessible in the Nether realm.
When you speak 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 can choose between increasing your Lacrima Gain, which aids in leveling up and boosting stats, or enhancing the amount of health you recover with each use of Netherworld Energy.
Additionally, you might unlock other valuable buffs, such as increased attack or recovery rates, which can give you a significant advantage in facing the challenges ahead. It's wise to regularly check back with Daphrona after destroying Soulstones to see if you've amassed enough for additional benefits.
