The Master of Chaos is the final mission in the main story ofThe First Berserker: Khazanand it is here to send you off in style. This level features a large, sprawling castle packed with demonic foes. You’ll be shimmying along the rafters, hopping between pieces of floating debris, and navigating through winding courtyards in pursuit of this game’s finale.
As we’ve done for every mission before this one, we’ll take you through all the sections of this stage, and point you in the direction of all the hidden treasures. Naturally, that includes the final four Soulstones and the last Jarling. We’ll also help you avoid the many, many traps this final mission is lined with.

Jarling?
No.
Before we start,you may want to equip the Undead Hunter’s Lantern. At the beginning of the stage, a volley of fireballs will be sent your way. Take cover behind the debris, then, after the volley has hit, quickly shuffle down to the area below. Once you reach the other side, an Undead Shieldbearer and an Undead Vagrant. Down the hallway, you’ll fight an Ice Archer and another Vagrant. You’ll find anUnstable Soul Tearstoneon the corpse behind the archer.
Head up the stairs, hook around, and you’ll kill a few Yoma Jesters, alongside a device which is firing off those fireballs. You’ll find aFire Spirit’s Fuel. Head up the ramp of rubble, and you’ll drop down in front of aBlade Nexus.If you head through the entryway on the right,you’ll run into Danjin(the Jarling collector). Speak to him and he’ll give youthreeChaos Cleanse Potions.Now, head straight, and you’ll encounter a Yoma Pursuer.
Once you take them out, go to the edge of the bridge. You’ll cross it ona piece of rubble that’s travelingbetween the two sections of the bridge. Once you cross to the other side, enter the building and open up the chest to get aSpear of Glory, Crusader’s Top, Necklace,andSpirit Ore.
Now, head up the elevator and move forward. You’ll be at theMain Entrance of the Imperial Palace Blade Nexus.Jump down tothe left of the Blade Nexusand you’ll land on a platform.Follow it down, and you’ll be in an area that will lead you to another chest. Open it to receive aSoul Cleaver Dual Wield, Soul-Cleaving Greatsword, Soul Piercer Spear,and twoLarge Spirit Ore.Climb the ladder to get back up to the Blade Nexus again.
Take a right, and you’ll be in an area with a Yoma Pursuer and one of those Chaos Clusters. Up above, a Yoma Shaman will be firing projectiles at you. Lure the Pursuer down the stairs, then travel upward and take out the Shaman. Nearby there are more Chaos Clusters as well as a few Shamans. There are15 Transmutation Shardsin front of the statue.
Head down the stairs and there is a Chaos Cluster as well as a Pursuer. There arethree Lightning Resistance Elixirsdown here. Now, head back up, there is a little alleyway with some wooden boards in front of it. Break them and head through. Climb the ladder, then drop on top of the Shaman to get anotherUnstable Tear Soulstone.
Now, head through the giant doors. You’ll immediately face off against two Twisted Mages. They’ll travel down opposite sets of stairs. Just sprint at one of them and attempt to take them out as quickly as possible. Fighting two of them at the same time is an absolute nightmare. Once you take the pair of Twisted Mages out, grab theUnstable Soul Tearstonethat’s sitting in front of the fireplace.
Head through the doors, then hook around and head down a set of steps. Volleys of those fireballs will rain down from afar. If you hook around the right side, there is an Undead Assassin. Next to them is aConcentrated Fire Essence. Drop down, and you’ll run into an Undead Ice Archer. They’ll be accompanied by a Shieldbearer.
To the left, there is a gazebo with aConcentrated Fire Essence. There are three Undead Vagrants ready to attack once you enter the gazebo. If you take a left, and then another left, you’ll be in a gazebo (which will shelter you from the fireballs). There is a Renowned Spellblade’s Shadow here.
There are twoWillpower Orbshere. Travel forward, and take a left, cross the bridge, and enter another building with two Shieldbearers. You’ll find anUnstable Tear Soulstonehere. Climb the ladder and kill the Shaman standing on the totem. Now, feel free to head back and pick through any of the treasures you missed.
When you are ready to progress, drop down from the tower where you killed the Shaman, and head up the stairs. There is a booby-trapped treasure chest with aDual Wield of Unending Tragedyand20 Keen Bladesbehind the statue on the left, and behind the statue on the right are threeChaos Resistance Elixirs.

Once you clear them out, you’ll find anEarth Enhancerin the top right, and in the bottom right corner you’ll find twoTransmutation Mists. Now, pull the lever up above.
The First Soulstone

As we already said, there are no enemies here to contend with. There aren’t any secrets hidden about either. From the area where you entered the lounge, if you take a left, you’ll find a corpse in a back room with anUnstable Soul Tearstone. After that, the only thing left to do here is talk to Daphrona.
DoNOTtalk to Daphrona yet if you aren’t certain you’ve met the requirements to receive the best ending - if that is something you care about, that is.

Depending on what conditions you’ve fulfilled, you’ll be able to select your ending here. Your options are…
Pick your poison, and then climb the staircase in the center of the lounge when you are ready to move forward. You’ll now be in a library. There are a total of five Shamans spread around here, with four Pursuers and three Jesters. Additionally, all of the Pursuers are frenzied.

Once you take them out, you’ll find aLarge Spirit Oresitting in front of a bookshelf. Exit through the left side of the room (just follow the blood smears on the ground), and you’ll see a Purusuer clawing at a corpse on your left. Before sneaking up on them, take out the Shaman on your right. They’ll be concealed by a bookshelf. Once you take them out get theUnstable Soul Tearstone

On the next floor, you’ll encounter two Shamans and two Pursuers: clear them out and head up the next set of stairs. Once you’re on the next floor, take a right, but before you reach the corner, look to your left where the banister has been broken offf. The thirdSoulstone (3/3)is sitting atop a pillar.

Celestial Tower
Beast of Madness, Saint of Sin, Undead Ice Archer, Undead Shield Bearer, Red-Eyed Boulder Bat, Yoma Shaman
Elite Twisted Mage, Yoma Pursuer, Yoma Shaman, Polluted Husk, Frenzied Husk, Failed Creation,
Let’s start by crossing the bridge. Once you hit the central gazebo, you’ll be rushed by a nearby Beast of Madness. Back up a little so that you don’t attract the attention of the one across the way. Then take out his buddy who’s crouching and get theLarge Spirit Ore.
Head toward the area where that first Beast of Madness charged you from, and take out theSaint of Sin. Inside the chest she’s guarding is aSacred Greatsword, Radiant Guardian’s Leggings, Necklace of Life,and aSpirit Ore. Now, simply head through the entryway next to the Blade Nexus, climb the stairs, and take the lift up.
In this next area, you’ll need to fall on the floating debris traveling up and down in front of the shattered stone path. Once on top, wait until it is as high as it will go, and drop down onto the remnants of the other side of the stone path. Don’t move forward yet. There is an Undead Ice Archer in the distance, and an Undead Shieldbearer dead ahead. Take out the archer with a javelin, and confront the Shieldbearer. Dodge around him, ashe is going to do his best to shove you off the platformand to your death. After taking them out, grab theWater Enhancersitting nearby.
Once you jump down, the entire platform will rotate 90 degrees forward, so make sure you are facing the wall or the pillar so that you will have a place to land. Now move to the corner of the platform and cross over to the ladder. Climb the ladder, and drop onto the floating stone platforms, but don’t dawdle, as they will crumble under your feet.
Now, jump down onto the next rock platform and grab theSpecial Cleanse Potion. However, don’t move to the next platform yet. First,look for the Red-Eyed Boulder Bat. Hit it with a javelinand then rush in and take it out. It is very, very easy for it to knock you off this platform and to your death. So, if you have to fight it at all, just make sure your back is to the wall.
Once you climb the ladder, be careful.The next area will rotate 90 degrees.Just like before, head for the right corner and cross over to the floating rubble. Grab theLightning Spirit’s Fuel, then leap down onto the floating rubble. You’ll now be at a set of locked doors. Head up the stairs and take the elevator down. You’ll now have a quick route back up from the Blade Nexus.
Jump down the hole next to the elevator and open the doors. Now, cross the bridge. If you take the first left on the bridge you’ll get aFire Enhancer. Inthe center of the bridge, there’s anUnstable Soul Tearstone.Finally, the final right before the end of the bridge holds youanotherUnstable Soul Tearstone. However, those chaos projectiles will start raining down on you once you start crossing the bridge. So,for now, don’t worry about the itemslittered all around the bridge.
Instead,sprint to the other side, and fight the two Shieldbearers, kill the Yoma Shamen summoning the fireballs, andthengo loot the bridge. Now, climb the stairs, you will face off against one more Servant of Chaos. Once you have defeated him, open the giant doors, and move into the final area. Interact with theAudience Chamber Blade Nexus.
Audience Chamber
If you haven’t talked to Daphora yet, don’t enter the boss arena until you have done so. This is your last chance to tie up those loose knots and complete side missions or collect Ozma’s Diary Fragments to get the best ending. If you start walking up those stairs toward the gate without talking to her,you will be locked to the normal ending.
Preparation For Ozma
Before you fight Ozma, here are a few things I’d recommend taking into consideration. For starters, Ozma uses a wide variety of magical spells, so you will want toconsider taking potions that will cleanse flame, frost, and chaosstatus ailments.
If you are looking for a specific element to prepare for, that would be Chaos, as the majority of his spells are chaos magic-based.Eitherthe Radiant Guardian or theSaint armor sets would work wellhere to provide you with a substantial amount of resistance to the Chaos element.
As for what weapon works best, you can absolutely make due with any of the three, but the Spear’s mobility is greatly beneficial when dealing with Ozma’s massive AOE attacks. Lastly, when it comes to Phantoms,Keshta’s boost to your stamina recoverywill be extremely useful, butAdelhaide’s improved healing, and the ability to regain Netherworld Energy charges when you run out, can really help to improve your survivability. I’d say you can’t go wrong with either.
