Venturing into *The First Berserker: Khazan* can feel overwhelming with its challenging combat and hazardous environments. Among the myriad elements to master in this game are the enigmatic Soulstones. Here's a detailed look at what they are and how to effectively use them to enhance your gameplay experience.
What Are Soulstones in The First Berserker: Khazan?
As you embark on your journey with Khazan, be prepared to encounter various hazards, including ambushes and hidden treasures. Among these, you'll discover the red, glowing Soulstones scattered across levels. These stones aren't just decorative; they're crucial for enhancing your character's abilities. To collect them, you'll need to employ your platforming skills and keen observation, as they often require some effort to reach. Once found, you must destroy them using either melee attacks or your Javelin's ranged capabilities.
Upon reaching The Crevice hub zone, you'll gain access to portals that allow travel to different levels. Here, you can track how many Soulstones are available in each level, helping you plan your collection strategy.
How To Use Soulstones in The First Berserker: Khazan
Each Soulstone you destroy contributes to a total that can be used through the NPC Daphrona, whom you'll first meet in the Embars Ruins – Forgotten Temple level. Daphrona provides crucial information about the Netherworld and its leaking energy. After clearing this level, she moves to The Crevice, becoming accessible in the Nether realm.
When you interact with 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, aiding in leveling up and stat improvements, or increase the health recovery from using Netherworld Energy. Additionally, there might be other valuable buffs available, such as attack or recovery enhancements, all designed to give you a strategic advantage in facing the game's challenges.
It's wise to revisit Daphrona frequently after destroying Soulstones to see if you've accumulated enough for new benefits, ensuring you maximize your character's potential throughout your journey.
