Dark Souls II Unofficial Soundtrack:
The Songs That Should Be In Dark Souls II
Hello undead wanderer,
This is my second post that leads to your inevitable death in Dark Souls II (this playlist can easily work for Dark Souls, and Demon Souls as well). In this game there is very little music which leads you to this blog where I make specific playlists that act as an unofficial soundtrack to the game. I do suggest you listen to the original dark souls II soundtrack especially for bosses, but once you have, tune in on this playlist. The songs I pick have the similar theme of tension, wonder, and intensity of Dark Souls 2. Knowing you will spend well over ten hours (easily) on this journey I picked songs that can be repeated and not get old, and hopefully every time you hear these tracks they remind you of your pain and suffering, as well as your wonderment and feeling of success. Whether you like to swing great swords, or just souped up broadswords, these songs will help you strengthen your attributes and make grinding less tedious.
What to do:
- Start up Dark Souls and get into the gameplay
- Find a nice quiet place and go into your menu/ go to Options/
- TURN OFF "music volume"
- Play the Unofficial Dark Souls II Soundtrack
- enjoy.
suggestion: play the game while listening and not watch the music videos.
Here are my picks:
All tracks have a beautifully easy replay ability for this long game which is a reason for each choice.
Coldplay's Midnight is seriously the creme dela creme of this soundtrack, it is beautiful and is subtle enough to play in the background or out front and loud. The song embodies the terrifyingly gorgeous world of dark souls, with its dark cave areas all the way through to the mystifying castles of Drangleic. A dynamic song for a dynamic game.
Grimes track Genesis displays more of the creepier side of dark souls. Where NPCs are talking about wanting to kill their old friend, or the strange grimness of a lot of their lives and advice. All around great song to be added to the Dark Souls experience.
Broke for free's Note Drop is a good background melody that is pleasing to open crates to, as well as exploring.
Angels & Airwaves Reel 1 (Diary) is an emotional trip that has a lot of the dynamic parts as Midnight, but the tone switches halfway. The beginning is awesome for exploring and looting, where the end is all about combat. Intense situations may lead while listening to this track.
Chad Valley's Fast Challenges is a perfect track to explore to with its airy vocals and catchy tunes. More of a background tune, but will lead to plentiful chests and drops.
Tycho's Elegy is a perfect track that is good for tweaking menu items especially at bonfires. The song reminds me a lot of Majula because of its very mellow aura that emanates through the song. It's best enjoyed in a calm environment.
