At last, it's time for our first dungeon. By the time we're done, we'll be able to expose Crabby!
Northeast of Teapot Village is the abandoned record factory. If you tried to come here earlier in the game, you couldn't enter this place, but now that you know from Professor Condante that you kick the door, you can.
Going down the stairs near the start of this area leads to a dark area. You won't be able to explore this area yet, so just head east once you enter the Record Factory.
Topheavy can Fly, making it harder to hit. If you're at Level 9, this enemy is easy to beat. By the time you reach Level 10, however, you'll be able to beat this enemy as well as the other new enemies without getting hit. 14 Experience and 27 Gold comes from beating this enemy, and there is a chance that it will drop Heal 1 or a Leather Shield.
Artchoke can cast Flame 1, so be careful, even at Level 9. Artchoke can also put you to Sleep, and you'll have to wait to wake up before you can attack again. It gives 12 Experience and 22 Gold, and has a chance of dropping a Med 1-10 scroll.
Loli Dog is strong agast Freeze and can cast Stick, which can tangle you up in place temporarily and make it harder to attack. It gives 6 Experience and 26 Gold, and it can drop Cloth armor, which is useless.
Yam Jam can Dodge and cast Shove much like the Spud Bud, but it's just a slightly stronger version otherwise. It gives 8 Experience and 28 Gold, and can drop a Dagger, which you won't need.
I use Med 1 during battle and Heal 1 outside of it. This allows me to save MP for when I really need to use it.
The big records on the floor will spin you around, but if you walk onto the stylus when it comes your way, you can ride to the other side and get to where you need to go. You'll need to do this twice to get to an old woman, who reveals herself as Lola Leftover, who has resorted to singing in the factory after her stardom disappeared and the hits dried up. She is surprised that you have heard of her, and asks to sing a song. Let her sing her song, and you'll get the Debut Album.
Lola Leftover will then tell you that she sees suspicious people who have mentioned Crabby walk down to the basement of the factory, which is the dark area down the stairs at the beginning of the building. She will give you a Lantern, and there, you will be able to head back to the beginning, go down the stairs and be able to see where you're going this time. You can walk on the big records to get back to the beginning more quickly.
Once you go through the double door, you'll find Crabby's minions, who reveal that the Happy Factory is actually going to be a polluting factory and that they will begin the operation once Crabby wins the election. This leads you fighting two Gremlins, much like the grunt at the beginning of the game. Just keep striking with physical attacks at this point. Each Gremlin gives you 30 Experience and 70 Gold.
When you win both battles, you'll get a Document exposing Crabby's plans, then you'll be able to leave the Record Factory. If you need to, head back to Teapot Village on the way back to Shishkebab to heal up and sell any excess items you don't need. From there, you'll need to head back to Condante Forest and talk to Professor Condante to give him the Debut Album. Condante will take the album and exchange it for the Crab family's Family Tree, but not before revealing that Crabby's name is nowhere to be found on it. With this and the Document, you can now expose Crabby's true identity. From here, you can head back to Shishkebab.
