Veronika the Advocate is one of the many Phantoms you can unlock in The First Berserker: Khazan but you will first need to find a Ghost Gem for her.
The Ghost Gem itself is fairly tricky to find, too! There are multiple of them throughout the game, but they all require you to explore off the beaten path to find them. As such, they’re easy to miss. Which is a shame, because Veronika’s abilities can boost your extremely helpful Spirit of Advocacy!
In this guide, we’ll tell you how to easily get a Ghost Gem to unlock Veronika’s powers as early as possible.
How to Get Ghost Gem & Unlock Veronika the Advocate
You can get the earliest Ghost Gem to unlock Veronika at the Embars Ruins during the “Forgotten Temple” main mission. We’ll be using the “Depths of the Forgotten Temple” Blade Nexus as our starting point.
From the Blade Nexus, go up the large stairs with wooden shields. You’ll fight many Dragonkin enemies there, but you just need to follow the stairs all the way up.
Once you reach the top of the stairs, go straight forward to the opposite end of the room. You’ll find an archway there and some stairs going down. Take the stairs all the way down.
You’ll end up in a large room with multiple enemies. You should also notice some stairs on the opposite end of the room. Deal with the enemies as you see fit, then take the stairs up.
This will take you to a massive open room with a lone Elite Enemy. Make sure no other mooks are chasing you before you engage the Elite Enemy, or you’ll get overwhelmed! When you’re ready, take down the elite Dragonkin.
After defeating that enemy, face the stairs going up which you need to take to continue the main mission. For now, ignore them and turn to your left. You should see some sort of gear-like object on the ground with a shiny red item in front of it.
Approach that red item and pick it up. Turns out that’s the Ghost Gem you need to unlock Veronika’s Phantom Abilities!
How to Unlock Veronika
Now that you have the Ghost Gem, go to any Blade Nexus. Then, select the “Phantom Abilities” option from the Blade Nexus menu.
Then, just hover over Veronika the Advocate and press the “Unlock” button. You can see the button at the bottom of the screen, as shown above.
This will consume the Ghost Gem, but it will also unlock Veronika the Advocate and let you use her Phantom Abilities in The First Berserker: Khazan. Her abilities are all about buffing the Spirit of Advocacy. They’re a helpful phantom you can summon at specific spots, mostly for help with boss fights.
That’s all you need to know about unlocking Veronika’s abilities! Do you also want to respec your stats, though? We have a guide all about how to respec Khazan’s stats if you need help with that as well.

Few things exemplify his wide variety in gaming tastes as the fact that he’s a big fan of both Souls games and the Atelier series at the same time. Also a big fan of Yakuza/Like a Dragon, Deadly Premonition, Zero Escape, and Dead Rising, among others. Considers Lost Judgment and Sekiro to both be masterpieces.
