As you embark on your journey with Khazan, be vigilant not only for ambushes but also for valuable items scattered throughout the levels. Among these, you'll encounter red, glowing stones known as Soulstones. These aren't just decorative; they're crucial to your progress. Soulstones are hidden across the levels, often requiring keen observation and some platforming skills to locate. Once found, you need to destroy them using either melee attacks or the Javelin's ranged capabilities.

Once you reach The Crevice hub zone and unlock the portals to navigate between levels, you'll be able to track how many Soulstones are available in each level. This helps in planning your exploration and ensuring you don't miss any.

Each Soulstone you destroy contributes to a total count that can be used through interactions with the NPC Daphrona. You'll first meet Daphrona in the Embars Ruins – Forgotten Temple level, where she'll explain the Netherworld and its leaking energy. After you clear the level, Daphrona relocates to The Crevice, becoming accessible in the Nether realm.

When you speak with Daphrona, you'll have the option to "Unleash Soulstones." Depending on how many Soulstones you've collected, you can enhance Khazan in various ways. Typically, you can choose to boost your Lacrima Gain, which aids in leveling up and improving stats, or increase the health you recover each time you use Netherworld Energy. Additionally, there might be other valuable buffs available, such as enhancements to attack or recovery rates, all aimed at giving you a strategic advantage in Khazan's perilous journey.

It's advisable to check back with Daphrona regularly after destroying Soulstones to see if you've accumulated enough for additional benefits. This can significantly impact your gameplay and help you tackle the challenges ahead more effectively.
