As you begin your journey with Khazan, you'll encounter various elements that demand your attention. Beyond the enemies lying in ambush, you'll find treasure chests, guarded or hard-to-reach pick-ups, and the distinctive red, glowing Soulstones scattered throughout the levels. These Soulstones require keen observation and some platforming skills to locate. Rather than admiring them, you must destroy each one using either melee attacks or ranged Javelin strikes.
Once you reach The Crevice hub zone and gain access to portals for revisiting past levels or exploring new ones, you'll be able to track the number of Soulstones available in each level.

Each Soulstone you destroy contributes to a total count that can be used through the NPC Daphrona. You'll first meet Daphrona in the Embars Ruins – Forgotten Temple level, where she'll explain the situation regarding the Netherworld and the leaking energy. After clearing the level, Daphrona will relocate to The Crevice, becoming 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 enhancements you can apply to Khazan. Typically, you can choose to increase your Lacrima Gain, which aids in leveling up and boosting stats, or enhance the amount of health you recover each time you use Netherworld Energy.
Additionally, there might be other valuable buffs available, such as attack or recovery enhancements, all designed to give you a competitive edge in Khazan's challenging journey. It's advisable to return to Daphrona frequently after destroying Soulstones to see if you've accumulated enough for another beneficial upgrade.
That's everything you need to know about Soulstones and their usage in *The First Berserker: Khazan*. For further guidance on the game, feel free to explore resources available at The Escapist.
