Dancing Cultist 1

verified 2026-07-17 · MythFall npcs

Dancing Cultist 1 is one of three identical 'succumbed victim' rigs found dancing endlessly around a Chorus Grove campfire, tied to the Investigate Victims questline's corruption storyline.

Dancing Cultist 1's single scene, Succumbed_Victim/Campfire, places it directly inside the storyline the Investigate Victims questline sets up: 'investigate what is happening to the victims of Chorus Grove.' The 'Succumbed_Victim' folder naming - shared with the Victim NPC's own Chorus Grove scenes - implies these are townspeople or worshippers who have succumbed to the forest deity's corruption, left in a trance-like dancing state around a campfire rather than actively hostile.

Three near-identical Dancing Cultist rigs (1, 2 and 3) all share this exact same Campfire scene, suggesting a small group animation - multiple corrupted victims dancing together at one location - rather than three separate individual encounters.

The render for Dancing Cultist 1 was flagged during review as missing a head, missing legs, and shot from a straight-down camera angle showing little more than a torso stump - unusable as a character portrait, so no image is published for it here.
