Each Soulstone you shatter contributes to a total count, which you can use through interactions with the NPC Daphrona. You'll first meet Daphrona in the Embars Ruins – Forgotten Temple level, where she'll provide crucial information about the Netherworld and its leaking energy. After clearing this level, she relocates to The Crevice in the Nether realm, ready to assist you further.
When you speak with 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 between boosting your Lacrima Gain, which aids in leveling up and enhancing stats, or increasing the health recovery from using Netherworld Energy. Additionally, you might unlock other valuable buffs such as attack or recovery boosts, which are essential for gaining an advantage in Khazan's perilous journey.
It's wise to frequently visit Daphrona after destroying a few Soulstones to see if you've amassed enough to claim another beneficial upgrade.
