In *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*, Goro Majima masters two distinct fighting styles, one of which is the "Sea Dog" pirate style, complete with four powerful finishers ideal for handling large crowds. However, acquiring all the dark instruments in the game is no small feat.
How To Obtain The Dark God’s Violin in Pirate Yakuza
The Dark God’s Violin is the first Dark Instrument you can unlock in *Pirate Yakuza* and is crucial for progressing through the main storyline. You'll encounter this mission in Chapter 2, where Jason, a member of your crew, directs you to rendezvous with an old friend. Here, Goro and his crew will confront the Devil Flag pirates, who have not only killed Jason's friend but also stolen the priceless Pharoh Stone.
This encounter introduces Misaki, the orphaned daughter of the slain friend, who joins the Goro Pirates in her quest for vengeance, setting the stage for a thrilling side story. To obtain the Dark God’s Violin, follow the questline leading to the islands east of Madlantis. Be prepared for a formidable enemy fleet led by the Devil Flag pirates. Focus your attacks on the boss ship to advance to the next stage of combat aboard the enemy vessel. After defeating the Devil Flags, you'll receive the Dark God’s Violin, which you can then test in a 100-enemy brawl on the island.
Following this victory, a cutscene introduces the captains of the Devil Flag fleet: Yakuza, Ronin, Shinobi, and Zeus. They challenge the Goro Pirates, marking the official start of this side quest. While defeating the Devil Flags is not required for the main story, it's essential for collecting all the Dark Instruments in *Pirate Yakuza*.
How To Obtain The Dark God’s Ocarina in Pirate Yakuza
After securing the first boss ship and participating in the initial 100-enemy brawl, you'll encounter Devil Flag markers across the waters in *Pirate Yakuza*. Defeating these ships earns you Devil Flags, and you'll need to accumulate 70 of them to unlock the next Dark Instrument. Engage any Devil Flag ships or treasure islands you encounter to quickly amass these flags.
Once you've collected 70 flags, Atali Island will become accessible on your map. Prepare a robust landing party as you'll face multiple waves of attackers on this treasure island. Your goal is to reach the treasure chest containing the Dark God’s Ocarina, but you must first defeat Devil Flag Captain Yakuza. After this boss fight, the Ocarina will be yours.

How To Obtain The Dark God’s Guitar in Pirate Yakuza
Following the defeat of Captain Yakuza, new objectives and cutscenes will lead you to an island where the Pharoh Stone is supposedly hidden. However, it's a trap, triggering another 100-enemy fight. Use this opportunity to test your newly acquired Dark God’s Ocarina.
After learning that Zeus is headed to Flame Island, prepare for a challenging gauntlet. A three-star ranking and 130 Devil Flags are required to proceed. Engage Devil Flag pirates whenever you spot them while sailing to gather the necessary flags.
Navigate to the Flame Entrance Lighthouse to trigger a cutscene and unlock four treasure islands: Sunset, Heatwave, Welldone, and Scorching Heat. Remember, you can't use health items during these battles, but some islands offer rest points. Upgrade Goro and his landing crew for a better chance at success.
After conquering these islands, you'll face another fleet battle. Focus on the boss ship, board it, and defeat the first mate to land on Flame Island. Choose Jason, Masaru, Minami, and Saejima as your landing party. After several smaller battles, you'll face Captain Ronin. Utilize your Dark Instruments to defeat him and his crew, gaining access to the treasure chest with the Dark God of the Earth’s Guitar.
How To Obtain the Dark God’s Saxophone in Pirate Yakuza
The Dark God’s Saxophone is the final Dark Instrument in *Pirate Yakuza*, and you'll need a Pirate Rank Four to unlock this last stage. Progress through main story missions, recruit new crew members, and engage in mini-games and side quests to reach this rank. Additionally, you must have collected at least 220 Devil Flags.
Sail to the Frost Entrance Lighthouse to trigger a cutscene and engage the Devil Flag fleet blocking the way to Frost Island. You'll also have access to four more islands: Snowview, Coldwave, Icicle Island, and Glacial, to plunder and collect more Devil Flags.
Defeat Captain Shinobi’s First Fleet before landing on Frost Island. Navigate through a series of battles leading into a cave, followed by a recovery area to restore health after facing multiple waves of pirates. The final boss fight on Frost Island is against Captain Shinobi. After defeating him, a cutscene will play where Zeus takes Misaki hostage, and Goro obtains the Dark God’s Saxophone.
The last boss encounter involves defeating Zeus and rescuing Misaki. This challenging two-stage battle requires a nearly fully upgraded Goromaru and concludes on an island. While this final fight isn't necessary to collect all four Dark Instruments, it's a fitting end to your journey against the Devil Flags.
That's how you obtain all Dark Instruments in *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*.
