Once spotted, you must destroy them using either melee or ranged attacks with the Javelin.

Each Soulstone you destroy contributes to a total count, which can be used with the help of the NPC Daphrona. You first meet Daphrona in the Embars Ruins – Forgotten Temple level, where she introduces you to the concept of the Netherworld and its leaking energy. After clearing the level, Daphrona relocates to The Crevice in the Nether realm, where she becomes a pivotal figure in utilizing your collected Soulstones.
When you interact with Daphrona, you can choose to "Unleash Soulstones." The number of Soulstones you've gathered determines the enhancements available for Khazan. Typically, you can opt to boost your Lacrima Gain, aiding in quicker leveling and stat improvements, or enhance your health recovery when using Netherworld Energy. Additionally, other valuable buffs, like attack or recovery enhancements, might be available, providing a strategic advantage in Khazan's perilous journey. It's wise to revisit Daphrona frequently to leverage your Soulstones for optimal benefits.
