📋 About This Mod
Description:
In my opinion, the Dark Souls 2 soundtrack as a whole is severely underrated. So much bangers can be found on it, and not just on the DLCs. But still, after some time and after beating the game countless times, things can get a bit tiresome, so I thought a breath of fresh air was needed. This mod was initially created for personal use, but after some time, I decided to share it. The music here came from various sources: from Dark Souls 1 and 3, Elden Ring, but mainly from composers like Timothy Richards, Solas Composer, and especially Alex Roe. All credit dedicated to all these composers that I really enjoy.
This mod was inspired by other two mods created by users Wannylet and Penetrator, but I did lots of changes of my own to make this mod unique.
Also, this mod is 100% compatible with the Bearer of the Curse mod, or any other mod that doesn't modify the order of bosses.
