As you navigate through the world of Khazan, you'll need to be vigilant not only of enemy ambushes but also of valuable items scattered throughout. Among these are the red, glowing Soulstones. These aren't just decorative; they are essential for your progress. Soulstones are hidden within levels, often requiring skillful platforming and keen observation to discover. Once found, they must be destroyed using either melee attacks or your Javelin's ranged capabilities.

Upon unlocking the hub zone, The Crevice, and its portals, you'll gain a clearer picture of the Soulstone distribution across different levels, aiding in your strategic collection efforts.

Each Soulstone you shatter contributes to a cumulative total, which can be used at the NPC Daphrona's service. You'll first meet Daphrona in the Embars Ruins – Forgotten Temple level, where she'll introduce you to the concept of the Netherworld and its leaking energy. After clearing the level, Daphrona relocates to The Crevice's Nether realm, where you can interact with her.

When you talk to Daphrona, you'll have the option to 'Unleash Soulstones.' The number of Soulstones you've collected determines the enhancements available to Khazan. Typically, you can choose to boost your Lacrima Gain, aiding in faster leveling and stat improvements, or enhance your health recovery rate when utilizing Netherworld Energy. Occasionally, more potent buffs might be available, such as attack or recovery boosts, providing a significant edge in your perilous journey.

It's wise to revisit Daphrona frequently after destroying Soulstones to see if you've amassed enough for another beneficial upgrade.
