Replaces Colossus soundtrack and Bell swings with Drakengard 1 Ending E bells

About this mod Author’s original text

Music Mod

The queen begins to sing... Light and

shadow, goodness and evil... Silence

the mother's song.

(This is an optional thing you can add to my NieR + Drakengard 3 soundtrack mod if you want to, or any other audio mod if you wish)

(do note that sometimes the bell swing sound will use the defualt one, not too sure why though)

A small follow up to my NieR mod if you will, I had the brilliant idea to make something fun out of this based on Drakengard 1's Ending E

This would make the Colossus boss a little more interactive as you are also playing a part in-game to make the ost for his theme if you are using bells. I thought it was clever so I went ahead with it.

I'va also added a very rare instance where the full theme plays during the fight and another where just the background bells play after defeating the boss.

The changes are listed below.

I hear a sound...

Dependencies and Compatibility

As stated before, this music pack relies on and requires Marioalexsan's ModAudio Mod v3.0.0, i cannot guarantee it may work on other versions of the mod.

The mod targets ATLYSS v1.6.0b. (BUT STILL WORKS WITH THE v.72025 UPDATE)

The mod will likely stop working should there be any updates, especially major ones.

What is Changed (or added if you want to combine this with another audio mod)

  • Crescent Grove Boss = Drakengard OST - Chapter XIII - Closing (Only the background bells, not the ones inputted by the player),

Drakengard OST - Chapter XIII - Closing (The Full Version)

  • Hard Mode Grove Boss = (same as Crescent Grove Boss)
  • Bell Swings = Drakengard 1 Ending E Bells (the ones that play when you input the button during the boss)
  • The music that plays after a boss is defeated = Drakengard OST - Chapter XIII - Closing (The Full Version), Drakengard OST - Chapter XIII - Closing (Only the background bells, not the ones inputted by the player)

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
  3. For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.

Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
