Navigating the intense battles in *The First Berserker: Khazan* can be daunting, especially when confronting formidable bosses. While the game doesn't offer a co-op feature for direct player assistance, it introduces a unique mechanic called the Spirit of Advocacy. Here's a comprehensive guide on unlocking, summoning, and upgrading this essential ally.
Unlocking the Spirit of Advocacy in The First Berserker: Khazan
Players familiar with the game's challenging boss encounters, like those against Yetuga and the Blade Phantom, will appreciate the introduction of the Spirit of Advocacy. This helpful ally becomes available during the third mission in the Forgotten Temples of the Embars Ruins. After you deactivate the magical device that siphons Netherworld energy, you'll face a Revenant of Adversity at the temple's base. This creature, a hybrid of Khazan and the Blade Phantom, must be defeated to unlock the Spirit of Advocacy feature.
How to Summon the Spirit of Advocacy in The First Berserker: Khazan
Once unlocked, the Spirit of Advocacy can be summoned just before the final boss fight of each mission. Look for a golden glowing spot in front of the boss gate; this is where you'll need to spend a Lacrima of Circulation to call upon your ally. These rare items drop from defeating other Revenants of Adversity, which you'll encounter throughout the levels. Make it a priority to seek out and defeat these enemies to secure more Lacrima of Circulation, crucial for your next steps.
How to Upgrade the Spirit of Advocacy in The First Berserker: Khazan
After completing the Forgotten Temple mission, return to The Crevice and speak to the NPC Daphrona. She will offer you the opportunity to enhance the Spirit of Advocacy using Lacrima of Circulation. By investing these resources, you can increase the Spirit's health, damage, and stamina, turning it into a more formidable ally in boss encounters. Additionally, farming more Lacrima of Circulation will not only aid in upgrading the Spirit but also provide regular Lacrima and Vengeance Points, which you can use to boost your own stats. Don't forget to explore Daphrona's ability to utilize destroyed Soulstones for extra buffs, further enhancing your gameplay experience.
With this guide, you should now have a solid understanding of the Spirit of Advocacy in *The First Berserker: Khazan*—how to unlock it, summon it, and upgrade it. For more tips and strategies on conquering this challenging game, be sure to check out resources available at The Escapist.
