About this mod
Replaces Arkveld's BGM with the one used by Guardian Arkveld 2nd Phase.

- Permissions and credits
Updated for TU2! Install the fix on top of the main file (Updating from a previous version works fine too).
It's a shame that Guardian Arkveld's Theme is only used in game once. This mod is for everyone that feels the same way by assigning said Theme to regular Arkveld.
I've had absolutely no experience in Audio Modding so this was hell to get working, especially to make it properly loop. But by going through older guides and just trying out a lot of stuff I got it to work, and the result is worth it I'd say!
I also tried to replace the Chase Theme, but it's a bit weird. For Guardian Arkveld, every layer except Strings and Synths just gets disabled, but I have no idea how that actually works. I just mixed those two layers together, replaced regular Arkveld's Theme with it and called it a day. The transitions may be a tiny bit weird, but it's really not that noticable. Maybe someone who has more knowledge about Audio modding reads this and can help improve it.
Regarding the Filesize:
Cacpom packed almost all music into one file, so you'll unfortunately have to download the whole thing again. This also makes the mod incompatible with ones that change the same file (bgm_resident_m.spck.1.X64). There's probably no way around that limitation, expecially if you want it to loop properly.
