As you begin your journey with Khazan, vigilance is key. Apart from enemies lying in ambush, the environment is littered with various items to discover. Among these, you'll find treasure chests, hard-to-reach collectibles, and the distinctive red, glowing Soulstones. These stones are scattered throughout levels and require keen observation and some platforming skills to locate. Don't just admire them; you must destroy each Soulstone using either melee attacks or your Javelin's ranged attacks.
Once you reach The Crevice, the central 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.

Every Soulstone you destroy contributes to a total that can be used through the NPC Daphrona. You'll first meet Daphrona in the Embars Ruins – Forgotten Temple level. She'll provide insights into the Netherworld and the energy leakage. After clearing the level, she moves to The Crevice, where you can interact with her in the Nether realm.
When you talk to Daphrona, you'll have the option to "Unleash Soulstones." Depending on the number of Soulstones you've collected, you can enhance Khazan in various ways. The primary options are to boost your Lacrima Gain, which aids in leveling up and stat enhancement, or to increase the health recovery when using Netherworld Energy.
Additionally, there might be other valuable buffs available, such as attack or recovery enhancements, all aimed at giving you a better edge in Khazan's perilous journey. It's advisable to revisit Daphrona after destroying a few Soulstones to see if you've amassed enough for another beneficial upgrade.
