Dancers are enemies added in v1.8, the Bestiary Update. They appear exclusively within the Slumbering Sanctuary.

Behavior[edit]

Dancers are capable of stabbing towards the player repeatedly.

If the Beheaded attempts to attack the Dancer or parry their attacks, the Dancer will instantly end their own attack and perform a short dash. This ability is on a short cooldown.

Strategy[edit]

It is best to roll through their first attack, and then retaliate before the Dancer has another opportunity to attack.

Note[edit]

The Dancer is immune to some Deployable Traps, such as Sinew Slicer Icon.png Sinew Slicer.
