As you begin your quest with Khazan, you'll encounter various hazards, including ambushes by enemies. However, the environment also holds treasures like chests, guarded or hard-to-reach pick-ups, 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 need to destroy each Soulstone using melee or ranged attacks with your Javelin.
Once you reach The Crevice hub zone and gain access to portals for revisiting old 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, where she'll explain the Netherworld and its leaking energy. After clearing the level, she'll move to The Crevice, accessible in the Nether realm.
When you speak to Daphrona, you'll have the option to "Unleash Soulstones." Depending on your accumulated Soulstones, you can enhance Khazan in various ways. The primary choices are to boost your Lacrima Gain, aiding in leveling up and stat improvements, or to increase the health recovery from using Netherworld Energy. Additionally, you might unlock other valuable buffs like attack or recovery enhancements, giving you a significant advantage in facing the challenges ahead.
It's wise to check back with Daphrona after destroying a few Soulstones to see if you've gathered enough for another beneficial upgrade.
