Embarking on the adventure in *The First Berserker: Khazan* can be an exhilarating yet challenging experience, not just due to the intense combat but also because of the perilous environment. Among the many elements you'll encounter, Soulstones play a crucial role. 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 game with Khazan, you'll need to be vigilant not only for ambushes but also for various collectibles scattered throughout the levels. Among these, you'll find the red, glowing Soulstones. These are not mere decorations; they are essential for your progress. To collect them, you'll need to employ both melee and ranged attacks, such as using your Javelin, to destroy them. They are often hidden and require some platforming skills and keen observation to locate.
Once you reach The Crevice, the hub zone, and gain access to portals that lead to different levels, you'll be able to track the number of Soulstones available in each area. This helps in planning your exploration and ensuring you don't miss any.
How To Use Soulstones in The First Berserker: Khazan
Each Soulstone you destroy contributes to a total count 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 with the Netherworld and its leaking energy. After clearing the level, she'll move to The Crevice, accessible in the Nether realm.
When you speak to 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 improving stats, or increase the health recovery from using Netherworld Energy. Additionally, there might be other valuable buffs, such as attack or recovery enhancements, which can give you a significant advantage in facing the challenges ahead.
It's wise to check back with Daphrona frequently after destroying Soulstones to see if you've accumulated enough for another beneficial upgrade.
