As you embark on your adventure with Khazan, be prepared for more than just enemy ambushes. Scattered throughout the levels, you'll find treasure chests, guarded pick-ups, and the distinctive red, glowing Soulstones. These stones are not merely decorative; they require your attention and action. To collect them, you must destroy them using either melee or ranged attacks with your Javelin. This task often involves some skillful platforming and keen observation.
Once you reach the hub zone, The Crevice, and gain access to portals that lead to different levels, you'll be able to track the number of Soulstones available in each area. This feature helps you plan your exploration and ensure you don't miss out on these valuable resources.

Each Soulstone you destroy contributes to a total that can be utilized through the NPC Daphrona. You'll first meet Daphrona in the Embars Ruins – Forgotten Temple level, where she explains the situation regarding the Netherworld and the leaking energy. After clearing the level, Daphrona relocates to The Crevice and becomes accessible in the Nether realm.
When you speak to Daphrona, you'll have the option to "Unleash Soulstones." The number of Soulstones you've collected determines the available enhancements for Khazan. Commonly, you can choose to boost your Lacrima Gain, which aids in leveling up and enhancing stats, or increase the health recovery from using Netherworld Energy. Additionally, you might unlock more potent buffs, such as attack or recovery enhancements, which can significantly improve your survivability and effectiveness against the perils of Khazan's journey.
It's advisable to return to Daphrona regularly after destroying Soulstones to see if you've accumulated enough for another beneficial upgrade.
