The First Berserker: Khazan 's Spirit of Advocacy is a helpful aid against tough Guardians if you find you're struggling in battle or just need something to distract your foe. It's easy to ignore this handy feature if you aren't actively checking out the game's menus, though, and even easier to leave it in a weakened state.

Khazan is in some ways a Soulslike crafted for hardcore Soulslike fans. There are few ways to too cheese boss fights with broken builds and the skill-checks come early and often (Chapter 3 boss Viper is already infamous as “newbie crusher).

The First Berserker: Khazan has been almost universally praised for its tough but fair approach to difficulty, though there were a few who were discouraged by how hard the game was even on Easy mode. Those people can now enjoy the game a bit more, thanks to these nerfs.
