As you begin your journey with Khazan, be on the lookout for various items and hazards. While enemies in ambush are a significant concern, you'll also come across treasure chests, guarded or hard-to-reach pick-ups, and the distinctive red, glowing Soulstones. These stones are scattered throughout levels, often requiring some platforming skills and keen observation to locate. Don't just admire them; you must destroy each Soulstone using either melee attacks or your Javelin.
Once you access The Crevice hub zone and the portals that allow travel to different levels, you'll be able to track how many Soulstones are available in each area.

Every Soulstone you destroy contributes to a total count that you can utilize through the NPC Daphrona. You'll first meet Daphrona in the Embars Ruins – Forgotten Temple level, where she'll explain the Netherworld's leaking energy situation. After clearing the level, she moves to The Crevice, accessible in the Nether realm.
By speaking to Daphrona, you can choose to Unleash Soulstones. Depending on the number of Soulstones you've collected, you can enhance Khazan in various ways. Typically, you can opt to increase your Lacrima Gain, which aids in leveling up and boosting stats, or enhance the amount of health you recover when using Netherworld Energy.
Additionally, there might be other valuable buffs available, such as attack or recovery enhancements, all designed to give you an edge in Khazan's perilous journey. It's wise to return to Daphrona frequently after destroying Soulstones to see if you've accumulated enough for another beneficial upgrade.
