Embarking on an adventure in *The First Berserker: Khazan* can feel overwhelming, not just because of the fierce combat but also due to the treacherous environment. Understanding Soulstones and how to utilize them is crucial for mastering this game. Here’s a comprehensive guide on what Soulstones are and how to use them effectively in *The First Berserker: Khazan*.
What Are Soulstones in The First Berserker: Khazan?
As you embark on your journey with Khazan, vigilance is key. While enemies in ambush pose a significant threat, the environment itself is littered with valuable items. Among these are the red, glowing Soulstones, which you'll find scattered throughout the levels. These aren't mere collectibles; they require active engagement. You'll need to use either melee attacks or your Javelin for ranged attacks to destroy them. Keep your eyes peeled and your reflexes sharp, as finding and destroying these Soulstones often involves some platforming challenges.
Once you reach The Crevice, the hub zone, and gain access to portals for revisiting old levels or exploring new ones, you'll be able to track the total number of Soulstones available in each level. This feature helps in planning your route and ensuring you don't miss any of these vital resources.
How To Use Soulstones in The First Berserker: Khazan
Each Soulstone you destroy contributes to a cumulative total, which you can use through the NPC Daphrona. You'll first meet Daphrona in the Embars Ruins – Forgotten Temple level. She'll introduce you to the concept of the Netherworld and its leaking energy. After successfully clearing the level, Daphrona 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, which aids in leveling up and enhancing stats, 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 an edge in Khazan's perilous journey. It's wise to check back with Daphrona frequently to see if you've gathered enough Soulstones for another beneficial upgrade.
