About this mod
Music replacement for boss fights and two optional themes for DSII SOTFS that could improve the soundtrack of the game.
23 soundtracks were exchanged for new original themes. This mod has been made based on my criteria and I have taken music that I considered better than the originals, therefore, suggestions and opinions are welcome.

UPDATE: What's new in version 1.2
Unused DSIII soundtracks:
New soundtracks:
Change of order:
You can look in the README text document for the details of the old version 1.1
Description:
In my opinion DSII has the weakest songs of the trilogy so I have given myself the task of trying to improve this aspect. Each music has been carefully reviewed and compared to get the best version of the game's soundtrack. Original music inspired by Bloodborne and DSIII, this mod would not be possible without the extremely talented TPR, Dragon Clef, Lucas King, Peter Gundry, Timothy Richards and in especially Alex Roe, credits to them.
I made two versions, the LITE version and the FULL version, I wasn't convinced to replace some songs that weren't bad so I divided it into a full version and a trimmed version (LITE). Majula soundtrack and menu theme can be installed optionally.
I left in both versions anthems from Dark Souls II like Aldia's theme, Vendrick's theme or the ending credits themes, likewise in both versions I didn't replace themes from lousy bosses like the Royal Rat Authority and Prowling Magus, and also I left the themes of Ancient Dragon, Bell Gargoyles and Executioner's Chariot, I found acceptable soundtracks for the bosses, if anyone has suggestions for these, they are welcome. The DLC's were not
touched.
You can play online with this mod, but it's not 100% safe, so go at your own risk.
