In *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*, Goro Majima harnesses two distinct fighting styles, with his "Sea Dog" pirate style featuring four potent finishers for crowd control. However, the journey to collect all the dark instruments is quite an adventure.
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 it's essential for progressing through the main story. You'll encounter this mission in Chapter 2, where your crew member Jason directs you to meet an old friend. At this point, Goro and his crew will clash with the Devil Flag pirates, who have murdered Jason's friend and stolen the priceless Pharoh Stone.
Following this, you'll meet Misaki, the orphaned daughter of the slain friend, who joins the Goro Pirates seeking vengeance. This sets the stage for the side story. To unlock the first Dark Instrument, follow the questline to the islands east of Madlantis, where you'll face a formidable fleet of Devil Flag pirates. Concentrate your attacks on the boss ship to progress to the next phase onboard the enemy vessel. After defeating the Devil Flags, you'll receive the Dark God's Violin, which you can test in a 100-enemy brawl on the island.
After the brawl, a cutscene introduces the captains of the massive fleet: Yakuza, Ronin, Shinobi, and Zeus. They challenge the Goro Pirates, marking the official start of this side quest. While not necessary for the main story, defeating all Devil Flags is crucial for collecting all the Dark Instruments.
How to Obtain the Dark God's Ocarina in Pirate Yakuza
After defeating the first boss ship and engaging in the initial 100-enemy brawl, you'll notice special Devil Flag markers in the waters of *Pirate Yakuza*. Defeating these ships will earn you Devil Flags, and you need 70 to progress to the next Dark Instrument. Engage any Devil Flag ships or occupied treasure islands to quickly amass these flags.
With 70 flags, Atali Island will unlock on your map. Prepare a strong landing party for this challenging treasure island, where you'll face multiple waves of attackers. Ultimately, you'll reach the treasure chest containing the Dark God's Ocarina, but you must defeat Devil Flag Captain Yakuza first. After the boss fight, the Ocarina will be yours.

How to Obtain the Dark God's Guitar in Pirate Yakuza
After defeating Captain Yakuza, a series of cutscenes will lead you to an island where the Pharoh Stone is supposedly hidden. However, it's a trap, and another 100-enemy fight ensues. Use this opportunity to test your new Dark God's Ocarina against the mob.
Following this, you'll learn that Zeus is headed to Flame Island. Preparing for this gauntlet requires at least a three-star ranking and 130 Devil Flags. Sail to the Flame Entrance Lighthouse to trigger a cutscene, leading to four treasure islands: Sunset, Heatwave, Welldone, and Scorching Heat. Remember, these islands don't allow health item consumption during battles, so ensure Goro and his landing crew are well-upgraded.
After conquering the treasure islands, another fleet battle awaits. Focus on the boss ship to board and defeat the first mate, allowing you to land on Flame Island. Choose Jason, Masaru, Minami, and Saejima for the landing party. Engage in smaller battles before facing Captain Ronin, utilizing your Dark Instruments. Upon defeating Ronin, you'll access the treasure chest containing 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, requiring a Pirate Rank Four and at least 220 Devil Flags. Boost your rank through main story missions, recruiting crew members, and engaging in mini-games and side quests. Sail to the Frost Entrance Lighthouse to trigger a cutscene and engage the Devil Flag's fleet blocking Frost Island's entrance.
Defeat Captain Shinobi's First Fleet to disembark and face the Devil Flag pirates on the island. Navigate through battles leading to a cave and a recovery area, then confront Captain Shinobi in the final boss fight. After defeating him, a cutscene will show Zeus taking Misaki hostage, concluding with Goro obtaining the final Dark Instrument.
The last encounter involves defeating Zeus and rescuing Misaki, a challenging two-stage battle on sea and island. Though not necessary for obtaining the Dark Instruments, it's a fitting conclusion to the saga.
And that's how you obtain all Dark Instruments in *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*.
