Navigating the challenging battles in *The First Berserker: Khazan* can be daunting, especially when facing formidable bosses. While the game lacks a traditional co-op feature, it offers an alternative in the form of the Spirit of Advocacy. For those eager to learn about this feature and how to enhance it, let's dive into the details.
Facing bosses like Yetuga and the Blade Phantom can be tough without assistance, but relief comes in the third mission of the game. In the Forgotten Temples within the Embars Ruins, you'll encounter the Revenant of Adversity at the temple's base. This confrontation happens after you disable a device siphoning Netherworld energy. The Revenant, a hybrid of Khazan and the Blade Phantom, must be defeated to unlock the ability to summon the Spirit of Advocacy in future battles.
Once you've unlocked the Spirit of Advocacy, you'll find it's available only 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 use a Lacrima of Circulation to summon your ally. These rare items are obtained by defeating other Revenants of Adversity, which appear in various levels. Make it a priority to summon and defeat these enemies whenever possible, as the Lacrima of Circulation is crucial for the next step.
After completing the Forgotten Temple mission, head back to The Crevice where you'll find the NPC Daphrona. She offers the option to upgrade the Spirit of Advocacy using Lacrima of Circulation. Investing these resources can significantly enhance the Spirit's health, damage, and stamina, making it a more effective ally during boss fights. It's wise to farm more Lacrima of Circulation to maximize these upgrades while also collecting regular Lacrima for personal stat boosts and Vengeance Points bonuses. Additionally, Daphrona can utilize destroyed Soulstones to grant further buffs, so be sure to explore this feature as well.
