As you embark on your journey with Khazan, be prepared to encounter more than just hostile enemies. Scattered throughout the levels, you'll find various items, including treasure chests and the distinctive red, glowing Soulstones. These stones are not mere decorations; they require your attention and action. To collect them, you must destroy each Soulstone using either melee or ranged attacks with your Javelin. The process involves careful platforming and keen observation, as these stones are often tucked away in hard-to-reach places.

Once you reach The Crevice hub zone, you'll gain access to portals that allow travel to different levels. Here, you can track the number of Soulstones available on each level, helping you plan your collection strategy more effectively.

Every Soulstone you destroy contributes to a total count that you can use through the NPC Daphrona. You'll first meet Daphrona in the Embars Ruins – Forgotten Temple level, where she explains the concept of the Netherworld and its leaking energy. After clearing this level, Daphrona relocates to The Crevice in the Nether realm, becoming a pivotal character for your progress.

When you speak to Daphrona, you can choose to "Unleash Soulstones." The number of Soulstones you've collected determines the enhancements you can unlock for 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 when using Netherworld Energy. Additionally, you might unlock other valuable buffs, such as attack or recovery enhancements, providing a crucial edge in your journey.

It's advisable to frequently check in with Daphrona after destroying Soulstones to see if you've accumulated enough to unlock another beneficial upgrade.
