There's a bit more to the Alarus Extension past the big room with the three pillars, which is what fortuni was referring to.

Loving it so far. Haunted Cathedral and Bonehoard+

Your really killing me with these secrets! I've never had so much trouble.
The mold amused me, but it seemed a bit moot by that point.
I've finally made it there using those tiny itty bitty corner pieces and a potion.
Now, I find that I need two to get all the way in?? Guess it's time to hunt again.
Or maybe I missed another in the previous mission. :(
I can only imagine everything I'm still missing.

You're pretty close! If you find the secret in the precursor area you should be able to figure out how to proceed.

Wow, assumed the lower section was gonna be simple and was saving it for last.
Hadn't even gone down there yet.
Looks like it may be Lost City+ too.
Edit: ... and some Maw!

Update:
[spoiler]
Spent a lot of time looking around the area. When I made the connection!
Walked by the lower floor trap and remembered the arrows sticking there...
Luckily I'd noticed arrows stick in that material in another fm, which made it easier.
Also lucky I brought the mold with me.
I'm not quite sure how it will help though.
I've already made it up there. Still need two to get through I assume.

I wonder if anyone will find the
Bow UpgradeI found the corpse with
fire arrow and the note. Just strafe-jumped over lava pit, but I don't have explosives yet, because Alarus was the first "thing" I entered in the 2nd mission ;D I have all objectives unchecked now, and I already manage where the mission exit is :D as Garrett says famous sentence :)
Now I'm probably trapped, because go back from "upgrade-bow-gate-side" is a little tricky ;P I don't want to spend my Speed Potion, so probably load the game before big jump. Now trying some crazy wall-jumping, because there is not enough space to do a proper strafe-jumps.
I manage to do 1x circle-jump + 1x strafe-jump, but other side is to far :P I need 1x circle-jump + 2x strafe-jumps, but there is no room for this maneuver (too tight). A little round-jump could help, but now I skip it. As I said: I go back to save before big jump and try to find explosives first. Maybe there is another way out after smashing the gate, and I will not be forced to spend any of my Potions ;)
At the end - I could have sworn I have explosives from the Armory or Wine Cellar (1st mission)? and now I don't have it in my Inv? But probably I'm wrong, and it is just some brain glitch/error ;P (borrowing from another mission).

Absolutely brilliant. Struck me again! Now I've got what I need for the final piece. Very excited. Said hi to Benny for you.
Edit: It is done :)
Devious all the way.
The clincher was having all 3 potions.

I've found a Mysterious Key in mission 1. What to do with it and where are the others?

Couldn't agree more.
I had the honour of beta testing this mission and was blown away as to how clever this mission actually is. Initially it appears to be a reasonably simple, if not massive and in places seriously complex FM, but when you realise how much deeper the design goes and complexity of what you need to do to eventually access
The Alarus Extension your respect for the author multiplies tenfold.
I also only found 1 bug in the whole of mission 2 (most of beta testing ended up discussing gameplay issues) leaving me with a staggeringly good impression of vegetables Droming skills.

The mysterious keys are for a secret. If you want to find the others and what to do with them you should try to get on top of the rocks surrounding the mission.

What a fantastic mission, I love all the different sections, especially Midas, you managed to give every area its specific look despite the limited resources. :D
My only gripe would be that it looks a bit too clean to my taste, a bit too empty, but it captures the feel of the OMs just right.
Now, I'm about to complete the mission, however I'm stuck in one section : the Alarus Extension. I learned a new trick in the process, I didn't know you could grab a ledge while leaning forward, neat. I'm at the door with the dead thief, I assume I'm supposed to find some explosives somewhere but I fail to see where as I probably explored everything.
Also, there is one tower in the Air temple I'm unable to reach. I can see a mask up there, but no idea how to climb there.
Any help would be appreciated as I'd love to get that bloody bow upgrade.
