Grim Trials draws Blessings from Gods of Death around the world, and four names publicly referenced during the demo period are Arawn, Manaan, Morigan and Thanatos. These names were associated with Blessing VFX work in a 2026 demo update, but a complete launch Blessing list and final effects are not yet public.
How Blessing gods fit the game
Official store descriptions say Avelin receives powerful Blessings from Gods of Death around the world. Blessings appear during runs and are chosen alongside crafted gear and Skill Tree selections, giving each attempt a changing layer of build specialization.
Arawn, Manaan, Morigan and Thanatos
A February 2026 update referenced new VFX for Blessings tied to Arawn, Manaan, Morigan and Thanatos. That is enough to treat the names as real game entities, but not enough to publish individual effect tables without verification.
What we will verify at launch
- Every Blessing attached to each god.
- Exact effect text and upgrade scaling.
- Rarity or appearance rules.
- Weapon and Skill Tree synergies.
- Whether the demo-era god list changed before release.
Once those fields are verified, this hub can support separate god pages without creating thin pre-release articles.
Blessing Gods FAQ
Are Arawn, Manaan, Morigan and Thanatos definitely in Grim Trials?
Their names were publicly referenced in connection with Blessing VFX during the 2026 demo update period. That supports treating them as game entities, although final launch Blessing pools still need verification.
Do you choose a god before a run?
The official description only confirms randomized Blessings obtained during a run. It does not currently establish a permanent pre-run god selection system, so this guide does not assume one.
Why not make four separate god pages now?
Because the public information is not deep enough to make four genuinely useful pages. Once the full effect pools, upgrades and synergies are known, separate pages can be created without padding them with mythology that does not answer game-specific searches.
