Once inside the guardhouse, go west through all the rooms until you find some stairs leading to the "wine celler" (sic). Take the small key and backtrack your way to the entrance of the guardhouse.

| The second key |
Once you've returned to the first room, activate the floor switch next to the wooden log near the north door. Enter the door that opened east and continue your way through all the rooms until you reach the room with the bookcases. Although the north cracked wall suggests to be bomb-able, it will not open a passageway so don't try to blow it. Activate the floor switch and proceed to the next room. Go down the stairs and lift the pots to find a key. You can use the pots to take out the guards; one hit per guard should do the trick. You can't open the big treasure chest yet, so make your way back to the main entrance once again.

| Stairs to interrogation room |
Use one of your keys to open the locked door and make your way through the rooms until you find the stairs. Go down and avoid the guard. Run down the second set of stairs and activate the floor switch to open the door and proceed to the next room. Sneak past the guard and take him out with a pot. This is good practice as the guards may drop a heart to replenish your health. Activate yet another floor switch and exit the room south-ways. Continue through another set of rooms with more guards and floor switches until you reach a room with a set of stairs in the middle. Go down and you'll enter the interrogation room.
Take the west door and continue down the stairs to get to the prison upper floor. Go west and make your way past the guards. Pay special attention to the Gray Ball and Chain Trooper as he is ranged and very dangerous. Go down the stairs and you'll be at the prison's lower floor.

| Chest with the Big Key |
Immediately enter the door next to the one you just came out of. Move to the east of the room and take the first door south. Walk past the soldier and take the door north. Next go east to enter the prison warden's room. You'll encounter another Ball and Chain Trooper so be careful as you cannot fight him yet. Enter the south doorway and continue moving in that direction for a couple of rooms.
Make your way past a blue soldier and ignore the heart container as you'll need the hookshot to get it. Enter the next room through the north doorway... the door slams shut behind you. Floor tiles will rise and fire themselves at you. Avoid them until they stop and the doors will automatically unlock again. If you're having trouble avoiding them, I've created
a video that shows you how to do it.
Go north and open the treasure chest to find the Big Key. Now backtrack all the way to the main entrance.
Let's go and find a keyhole that fits!

I can't seem to be able to open the large chest it says I don't have the large key which if I'm correct looks like a dungeon/nightmare key. I know I have it because it looks like a ganon shaped key in my inventory but it keeps telling me that I don't have it yet.
Actual to get the heart container it isn't the hookshot, it won't even get you over the spikes. You have to bomb jump over by placing a bomb between yourself and the statues. You will only have 1 heart afterward though so be careful with this!
In reply to Noe Anguiano, there are two types of big keys in this rom hack. One big key is good for doors while you need to find another big key that opens the chest(s).
Really want to enjoy this but the shitty dungeon design is killing my vibe
One man's shitty is another man's enjoyably hard... thanks for this awesome hack!
Mshwartz I know you'll never see this but thx :)
