As you embark on your adventure with Khazan, you'll encounter various hazards and treasures. Among these, you'll find the red, glowing Soulstones scattered throughout the levels. These stones aren't just for show; they play a crucial role in enhancing your gameplay. To collect them, you'll need to keep your eyes peeled and engage in some platforming. Once spotted, you must destroy them using either melee attacks or Khazan's Javelin.

After unlocking The Crevice, a central hub zone, you'll gain access to portals that lead to both past and new levels. Here, you can track the number of Soulstones available in each level, helping you plan your collection strategy more effectively.

Each Soulstone you destroy contributes to a total that can be used with the help of 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 the leaking energy it contains. Once you clear this level, Daphrona moves to The Crevice, where she becomes accessible in the Nether realm.

When you interact with Daphrona, you can choose to "Unleash Soulstones." The number of Soulstones you've collected will determine the enhancements you can apply to Khazan. Typically, you have two primary options: increasing your Lacrima Gain, which aids in leveling up and boosting stats, or enhancing the amount of health recovered each time you use Netherworld Energy. Additionally, you might unlock other valuable buffs, such as increased attack or recovery rates, to give you a competitive edge against the dangers you'll face.

It's a good practice to visit Daphrona frequently after destroying a few Soulstones to see if you've amassed enough for another beneficial upgrade.
