Avowed: All Godlike Abilities, and how to get them

Since your character in Avowed is a Godlike, you get a lot whole suite of Godlike abilities throughout the game. These are not aligned with any specific class but can provide things that come in handy for all situations: some control, some damage, some healing, and so on. Of course, you start with the ability to sneak attack enemies with a spectral lance as your starter ability.

As you progress in the game, you are offered more Godlike abilities by your beneficiary (not revealing who due to spoiler reasons). One important thing to keep in mind is that you can reject any or all of these abilities when the choice comes up, which gives you Godlike's Will (+1 Ability point). In other words, the choice is between getting a Godlike ability, or a free Ability point to use on any other tree.

With that caveat out of the way, here are all the Godlike abilities you can gain in Avowed.

Note: This article may contain some mild spoilers for the main quest.

This specific one needs a previous one to upgrade to (Image via Sportskeeda || Obsidian Entertainment)

Divine Thorn (Passive)

You start Avowed with the Divine Thorn as a basic passive already present in your kit. This lets you backstab enemies for massive damage as long as they are not aware of your presence. Invisibility counts as a viable form of stealth for this purpose.

---

Dream Touch (Active)

Obtainable at the end of the quest Message from Afar.

For 30 Essence, you can heal yourself and your companions for roughly 40% of your Health. Also revives fallen companions in the middle of combat. Can be optionally upgraded into Seeds of Vengeance later in the playthrough.
