Every Soulstone you destroy contributes to a cumulative total that you can use through the NPC Daphrona. You’ll first meet Daphrona in the Embars Ruins – Forgotten Temple level. She plays a pivotal role in explaining the Netherworld and its leaking energy. After clearing the level, Daphrona moves to The Crevice, where she becomes accessible in the Nether realm.
When you interact with Daphrona, you’ll have the option to "Unleash Soulstones." Depending on the number of Soulstones you've collected, you can choose from various enhancements for Khazan. Typically, you can opt to increase your Lacrima Gain, which aids in leveling up and boosting stats, or enhance your health recovery when using Netherworld Energy. Additionally, you might unlock other valuable buffs, such as increased attack or recovery rates, which can give you a significant advantage in facing the dangers of Khazan’s journey.
It’s wise to regularly visit Daphrona after destroying Soulstones to see if you’ve amassed enough to unlock another beneficial upgrade.
