As you begin your journey with Khazan, be vigilant not only for the enemies lying in wait but also for various items scattered throughout the levels. Among these, you'll find treasure chests, guarded or hard-to-reach pick-ups, and the distinctive red, glowing Soulstones. These stones are strategically placed and often require some platforming skills and keen observation to locate. Don't just admire them; you must destroy each Soulstone using melee or ranged attacks with the Javelin.
Once you reach The Crevice hub zone and gain access to portals that connect to various levels, you'll be able to track the number of Soulstones available in each level, helping you plan your collection strategy.

Every Soulstone you destroy contributes to a cumulative total that can be used through the NPC Daphrona. You'll first meet Daphrona in the Embars Ruins – Forgotten Temple level. Here, she'll explain the situation regarding the Netherworld and the leaking energy. After clearing this level, Daphrona will relocate to The Crevice, where she'll be accessible in the Nether realm.
When you interact with Daphrona, you'll have the option to "Unleash Soulstones." The number of Soulstones you've collected will determine the enhancements you can apply to Khazan. Typically, you can choose to boost your Lacrima Gain, which aids in leveling up and stat improvements, or increase the health recovery when using Netherworld Energy.
Additionally, you might unlock other valuable buffs like attack or recovery enhancements, which can give you a significant advantage in facing the perils of Khazan’s journey. It's wise to check back with Daphrona after destroying a few Soulstones to see if you've accumulated enough for another beneficial upgrade.
