The Divine Path, also called the Mountains, the North and the Crystal Cliffs, are the northern area of the game world of Hyper Light Drifter. The Mountains are a collection of snowy mountaintops, abandoned structures, and underground cave systems. The area is inhabited by the Bird People, a tribe of Vultures.
The Vultures, Vulture Acolytes, and Vulture Shamans are enemies exclusive to this area, and the Boss is the The Hierophant.

At first, the Bird People lived a peaceful tribal life steeped heavily in religion and ceremonies. However, an upstart religious fanatic, the zone Boss known as The Hierophant, preaches a new religion. Slowly, this new cult gains momentum and, in a midnight coup, takes over the monastery.
