Just PMed you where to use them. You'll probably need the help if you play on God mode!

SPOILER:
The two muse keys are used in Pandora's Box, the first door you can use the handle to rotate, one of the areas it leads to is a wall with art/statue type thing, with two spaces missing...the two muse keys go there, opening up an area where you get your life and magic bars increased, as well as experience. I guess it's a "secret area" where you're rewarded if you find both keys. You didn't miss anything except those boosts, no storyline points or anything.

When I saw the room they opened up

I'm actually having more fun now playing on god mode then I did on normal. You really have to control the flow of battle and not just wander around aimlessly swinging the chaos blades. Blocking, retreating, and a little more strategy is involved.

Just PMed you where to use them. You'll probably need the help if you play on God mode!

How the hell do you beat that huge tank dude on the Trials of Hades. I figured out how to get his armor off by shooting the logs at him but can't get his health below 1/2 before he slaughters me. What does the most damage against him?

********************Answer Below********************

This is how I took him out. Since he gives back health and magic when you take away his strength, don't be afraid to go after him and use Zeus's magic attacks on him while mixing in some combos. As soon as he stands straight up after a good attack, back off a bit. After pressing circle and getting him in that dazed capacity, run up to the platform and drill him with a log. Now this is important. After you nail him, he's going to charge you. Jump off almost immediately and catch him with with an attack on the way down. He won't touch you. Then start running towards the other end of the room; he'll jump backward and now you have the room to start another attack. It helps towards the end if you're running out of magic if you have a Rage of the Gods (L3, R3) saved to put him away once all the armor is off. For me, his toughest attack was when he smashed the ground and made a line of fire erupt from the ground...that's a good time to step back and use some magic. Getting behind him and using your blades is also effective after dodging a hand swipe. Sorry if I'm forgetting anything but I think that's how I defeated him.
