In *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*, Goro Majima's "Sea Dog" pirate fighting style features four distinct and potent finishers for managing large crowds. However, unlocking all the dark instruments in the game involves a challenging journey.

How To Obtain The Dark God’s Violin in Pirate Yakuza

The Dark God’s Violin is the first of the Dark Instruments you'll unlock in *Pirate Yakuza*, and it's essential for progressing through the main story. You'll encounter the mission to obtain it in Chapter 2. Here, Jason, one of your crew members, will direct you to meet an old friend. During this meeting, Goro and his crew will clash with the Devil Flag pirates, who have killed Jason’s friend and stolen a valuable treasure known as the Pharoh Stone.

Following the encounter, you'll meet Misaki, the orphaned daughter of Jason’s deceased friend, who joins the Goro Pirates to avenge her father. This sets the stage for the side story. The questline will lead you to the islands east of Madlantis, where you'll confront a formidable enemy fleet of Devil Flag pirates. Focus your attacks on the boss ship to advance to the next phase of the fight on the enemy vessel. After defeating the Devil Flags, you'll receive the Dark God’s Violin. You can then test this new finishing move in a thrilling 100-enemy brawl on the island.

Defeating the Devil Flags on the island triggers a cutscene where you meet the fleet's captains: Yakuza, Ronin, Shinobi, and Zeus. They challenge the Goro Pirates, officially launching this side quest. While you don’t need to fight the Devil Flags to complete the main story, defeating them is crucial 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 engaging in the initial 100-enemy brawl, you'll notice special Devil Flag markers in various waters. Defeating these ships will earn you Devil Flags. To unlock the next Dark Instrument, you need to collect 70 Devil Flags. Engage with any Devil Flag ships or treasure islands you come across to accumulate them quickly.

Once you have 70 flags, Atali Island will become accessible on your map. Prepare a strong landing party, as this island involves multiple waves of attackers. After navigating through these battles, you'll reach a treasure chest containing the Dark God’s Ocarina. However, you must first defeat Devil Flag Captain Yakuza to claim it. Upon defeating the captain, the Ocarina becomes yours.

How To Obtain The Dark God’s Guitar in Pirate Yakuza

Following your victory over Captain Yakuza, new objectives unfold. The captain will lead you to an island supposedly holding the Pharoh Stone, but it turns out to be a ruse, triggering another 100-enemy fight. Use this opportunity to test the Dark God’s Ocarina against the mob of enemies.

Next, you'll learn that Zeus is headed to Flame Island. This phase involves a challenging gauntlet, requiring at least a three-star ranking and 130 Devil Flags. Keep defeating Devil Flag pirates as you sail to gather the necessary flags.

After collecting the required flags, sail to the Flame Entrance Lighthouse, triggering a cutscene. You must conquer four treasure islands: Sunset, Heatwave, Welldone, and Scorching Heat. Note that treasure islands don't allow health item usage during battles, though some have rest points. Ensure Goro and his landing crew are well-upgraded for victory.

After clearing the treasure islands, prepare for another fleet battle, focusing primarily on the boss ship. After boarding and defeating the first mate, land on Flame Island with Jason, Masaru, Minami, and Saejima. Navigate through smaller battles to face Captain Ronin. Use your Dark Instruments to defeat him and his crew, securing the Dark God of the Earth’s Guitar. Only one instrument remains.

How To Obtain the Dark God’s Saxophone in Pirate Yakuza

The Dark God’s Saxophone is the final Dark Instrument in *Pirate Yakuza*, requiring a Pirate Rank Four to unlock. Boost your rank by completing main story missions, recruiting new crew members, and participating in mini-games and side quests. You'll also need 220 Devil Flags.

Sail to the Frost Entrance Lighthouse, triggering another cutscene. Engage the Devil Flag’s Fleet blocking the entrance to Frost Island. You'll also need to plunder four other islands (Snowview, Coldwave, Icicle Island, and Glacial) to gather more Devil Flags.

Defeat Captain Shinobi’s First Fleet before disembarking to face the Devil Flag pirates on Frost Island. Navigate through a series of battles leading to a cave and a recovery area to restore health. The final boss fight against Captain Shinobi awaits. After defeating him, a cutscene with Zeus unfolds where he takes Misaki hostage, concluding the Frost Island level with Goro obtaining the final Dark Instrument.

One last boss encounter remains, where you must defeat Zeus and rescue Misaki. This challenging two-stage battle requires a nearly fully upgraded Goromaru. While not necessary for obtaining the Dark Instruments, it completes the saga against the Devil Flags.

And that is how you obtain all Dark Instruments in *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*.
