I'm finished with mission two except getting out. Where to look for a way out?

the temple there is one.

Thank you! Just
sailed away! Very nice yet confusing map, especially true for
the similar halls of the Bonehoard section. Easy to get lost.

I am not too fond of huge tombs. I don't like wandering around through endless, confusing corridors while being chased by undead. So when I read the comments applauding the mission's large size, I decided to try to make this a quick one.
My strategy after exiting the elevator was to immediately run down to the deepest part of the tomb while largely ignoring the undead and grabbing loot whenever possible. I ended up at the lost city pretty quickly, just short of the 1500 loot goal. That gave me an idea of the general size of the mission. Then I ran back up to complete the required objectives. To my surprise, there turned out to be a handy shortcut back to the upper levels. Very well designed! Back at the noblemans' tombs, I set out to pick up one object of value. I randomly choose Midas and followed my compass to the west, barged through the double doors, and through the tomb. Grabbed the golden skull, ran back through the tomb, ignoring all the golden guardians on my tail, and arrived back to the lost city. I checked my objectives and saw I had to pick up one special item at this place. I looked at my surroundings, saw the large temple, and thought: "Yeah, it's gotta be in there." Easily found my way inside, went to the upper floors, grabbed the item without trouble. Last goal: I was pretty sure St. Tennor's Hammer was going to be near the end of the mission, and it was. Saw it immediately up the cliff as I was leaving the lost city. By this point I felt I could close this one out soon. I charged up the cave, blackjacking any craymen as I ran by. After I had the hammer, I ran to the one direction in the cave I had not yet explored and ended up at the final area. With a satisfying chime, the final objective ticked off as completed.
Finished on Normal in under an hour with just 1515 loot. Probably one of the most efficient runs I ever did the first time I was playing a mission. :D

I can't find Saint Tennor's hammer in part 2.
Is it in the maze? I only found a piece of jewelry in there.

Gloria If I recall correctly, if you know where the raft is in the caves, go south through a tunnel. The tunnel climbs upward, and in an open area turn right.

I'm lost John, the raft?
Please spoil me where I actually can find it. I lost track of the total environment.

Gloria I don't know if you are in the lost city area but if so... this is a second route. There is a large obelisk in the middle in a small puddle of lava. Go south from this point and go through the double doors. They are open already. Keep going south for about 45 - 60 seconds until you see a large cliff. On top of the cliff is the Saint Tennor's hammer. To access it, go southwest until you see a ramp with strange claws. Run up the ramp, and as it curves to the south and eventually curves to the east keep going. The hammer should be on the left hand side.
The raft is actually east of the obelisk.

Just finished this one. Definitely a fun mission and one I'd recommend.
The bow upgrade easter egg was a nice touch, but requiring backtracking as it does was a bit much - makes it less of a difficulty challenge and more of a 'man, do I really want to take all that time?' challenge. It'd be nice if you'd gotten to use the result of your efforts earlier in the mission; most people will be otherwise long done when they finally get it.

Both missions ghosted. I'm not gonna talk about Mission 1, because it's very easy and uninteresting to ghost. Mission 2 is much bigger. It took me 2 hours 46 min and I got 4450 loot. The biggest problem with Nobles Area wasn't swarm of undeads, but rather that this place is huge and confusing. Not only that, map is also confusing, because all 4 floors are placed on 1 drawing. And also first map has North at the ride side and South on the lest. So it's pretty easy to assume that the rest of the maps has the same compass. But it's different - for the rest of the maps it's just normal North at the top and South at the bottom. This really confused me when searching for tombs.
Finally found entrance to Alarus Tomb, but I couldn't do too much without explosive device. Still there is some clever Thief mechanics used. First using lean to the side and then mantle onto higher platform was clever, but the biggest impression gave me crossing huge gap with huge jump. This can be done via jump acceleration, only possible in Thief 1. This is the first time I see jump acceleration being used in the mission, even if it's only for secret area.
The most interesting part to ghost was Lost City. Ghosting fire elementals was really challenging. Especially getting gem. Also I explored more of this place than the first time when I played normally. I only couldn't find any entrance to tower with broken ladder.
