As you traverse the landscapes of *The First Berserker: Khazan*, keep an eye out for more than just lurking enemies. Scattered throughout the levels, you'll find treasure chests, guarded pick-ups, and the distinctive red, glowing Soulstones. These stones are not just decorative; they require your attention and action. To collect them, you'll need to engage in some platforming and use your sharp eyes to spot them. Once found, destroy them using melee attacks or your Javelin from a distance.

Every Soulstone you destroy contributes to a total that can be utilized through interactions with the NPC Daphrona. You'll first meet her in the Embars Ruins – Forgotten Temple level, where she'll introduce you to the concept of the Netherworld and its leaking energy. After clearing the level, Daphrona will relocate to The Crevice, becoming 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 your stats, or increase the amount of health you recover with each use of Netherworld Energy. Additionally, you might unlock other valuable buffs, such as attack or recovery enhancements, which can give you a significant advantage against the challenges ahead.
It's wise to frequently return to Daphrona after destroying Soulstones to see if you've accumulated enough for another beneficial upgrade. This strategic use of Soulstones can greatly enhance your journey through *The First Berserker: Khazan*.
