In *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*, Goro Majima adopts two unique fighting styles, one of which is the "Sea Dog" pirate style, featuring four potent finishers designed for handling large crowds. Acquiring all the dark instruments, however, is no small feat and requires dedication and strategic gameplay.
How to Obtain the Dark God’s Violin in Pirate Yakuza
The Dark God’s Violin is the first Dark Instrument you'll unlock in *Pirate Yakuza* and is crucial for progressing through the main storyline. You'll encounter this opportunity in Chapter 2, where your crew member Jason directs you to meet an old friend. This meeting leads Goro and his crew into a confrontation with the Devil Flag pirates, who have killed Jason’s friend and stolen the Pharoh Stone, a priceless treasure.
Following this encounter, you'll meet Misaki, the orphaned daughter of Jason’s slain friend, who joins your crew seeking vengeance. This sets the stage for a side story that will guide you to the islands east of Madlantis. Here, you'll face a formidable fleet of Devil Flag pirates. Concentrating your attacks on the boss ship is key to advancing to the onboard battle. After defeating the Devil Flags, you'll claim the Dark God’s Violin and immediately have the chance to use it in a 100-enemy brawl on the island.
After the island victory, a cutscene introduces you to the leaders of the massive fleet: Yakuza, Ronin, Shinobi, and Zeus. While defeating the Devil Flags isn't necessary for the main storyline, 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 Dark God’s Violin and engaging in the initial 100-enemy brawl, you'll notice Devil Flag markers across the seas in *Pirate Yakuza*. Defeating these ships earns you Devil Flags, and you'll need 70 of them to unlock the next Dark Instrument. Engage with Devil Flag ships and treasure islands whenever possible to accumulate these flags quickly.
With 70 flags, Atali Island becomes accessible on your map. Prepare a strong landing party for this challenge, as you'll face multiple waves of attackers. The treasure chest containing the Dark God’s Ocarina awaits at the end, but only after defeating Devil Flag Captain Yakuza.

How to Obtain the Dark God’s Guitar in Pirate Yakuza
After defeating Captain Yakuza, new objectives unfold, leading you to an island where the Pharoh Stone is supposedly hidden. This turns out to be a ruse, triggering another 100-enemy fight where you can test your newly acquired Dark God’s Ocarina. Following this, you'll learn that Zeus is headed to Flame Island, initiating a challenging gauntlet requiring at least a three-star ranking and 130 Devil Flags.
Once you've collected the necessary flags, sail to the Flame Entrance Lighthouse. You'll need to conquer four treasure islands: Sunset, Heatwave, Welldone, and Scorching Heat. Remember, these islands don't allow the use of health items during battles, so ensure Goro and his landing crew are well-upgraded.
After navigating the treasure islands, another fleet battle awaits. Focus on the boss ship, and after boarding and defeating the first mate, land on Flame Island with Jason, Masaru, Minami, and Saejima for the best chance of success. Engage in smaller battles before facing Captain Ronin, using your Dark Instruments to secure victory and claim the Dark God of the Earth’s Guitar.
How to Obtain the Dark God’s Saxophone in Pirate Yakuza
The final Dark Instrument, the Dark God’s Saxophone, requires a Pirate Rank of Four to unlock. Achieve this rank by completing main story missions, recruiting new crew members, and engaging in mini-games and side quests. You'll also need to collect 220 Devil Flags.
Sail to the Frost Entrance Lighthouse, where a cutscene leads to a battle with the Devil Flag’s Fleet blocking the entrance to Frost Island. Four other islands (Snowview, Coldwave, Icicle Island, and Glacial) await plundering to gather more Devil Flags.
After defeating Captain Shinobi’s First Fleet, you'll disembark to face the Devil Flag pirates on Frost Island. Navigate through battles leading into a cave, followed by a recovery area, before the final boss fight against Captain Shinobi. Defeat him to trigger a cutscene where Zeus takes Misaki hostage, ending with Goro obtaining the Dark God’s Saxophone.
The last boss encounter involves defeating Zeus and rescuing Misaki, marking the most challenging battle that requires a nearly fully upgraded Goromaru. While not necessary for obtaining the Dark Instruments, finishing off Zeus completes the saga against the Devil Flags.
And that's how you obtain all the Dark Instruments in *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*.
