How to use Soulstones in The First Berserker: Khazan

by

Destroying your first Soulstone in The First Berserker: Khazan may leave you puzzled – a message appears stating “You’ve shattered a mysterious energy-emanating mineral”, but there seems to be no immediate consequence. However, these radiant red crystals can be found strewn across each of Khazan’s missions. Contrary to what one might expect, given their mysterious nature, they don’t influence the game’s ending; instead, they grant additional benefits.

By breaking sufficient Soulstones and then conversing with the appropriate character, you can acquire useful enhancements that will aid you during battles. Here’s a guide on how to utilize your accumulated Soulstones in The First Berserker: Khazan, along with some suggestions for locating and shattering them more effectively.

Where to find Soulstones

In your initial mission following Khazan’s escape from imprisonment, you’ll stumble upon a radiant Soulstone nestled within a cave. This particular cave also houses injured soldiers and a formidable armored mini-boss enemy. To reach the Soulstone’s platform, you will need to proceed up the path into the cave and venture through a side passage. To collect the Soulstone, simply destroy it using your weapon. Doing so will trigger the message “You’ve shattered an enigmatic ore emitting energy”.

After gaining access to selecting missions through The Crevice, your Netherworld HQ, you will notice above each mission symbol the number of Soulstones available and those you’ve already discovered. Additionally, it’s important to mention that once you acquire this feature through the main storyline, you can utilize your javelin to shatter Soulstones or even hurl ranged items like a stone.

How to unleash Soulstones

To advance the central plot, you should guide your character towards encountering Daphrona deep within the Embars Ruins. This ethereal entity from the Underworld offers you a choice to activate the “Soulstone Unleashing” feature. By utilizing these Soulstones, you can select one of two boosts.

  • Lacrima gain +2%
  • Health recovery +2%

After amassing a specific number of liberated Soulstones, an additional Max Spirit +1 will be yours, providing extra slots for using abilities by consuming spirit. Following the completion of the Embars Ruins mission and the defeat of Scale, seek Daphrona in The Crevice’s Netherworld region. There, you can continue releasing any Soulstones found, with her assistance.
