In *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*, Goro Majima showcases his prowess with two distinct fighting styles, including the "Sea Dog" pirate style, which features four powerful finishers perfect for tackling large crowds. However, unlocking all the dark instruments in the game requires dedication and strategic gameplay.
How To Obtain The Dark God’s Violin in Pirate Yakuza
The Dark God’s Violin is your first taste of the dark instruments in *Pirate Yakuza* and is crucial for progressing through the main storyline. During Chapter 2, you'll receive a new waypoint from your crew member Jason to rendezvous with an old friend. It's here that Goro and his crew encounter the Devil Flag pirates, who have murdered Jason’s friend and stolen the precious Pharoh Stone.
Following this encounter, you'll meet Misaki, the orphaned daughter of Jason’s slain friend, who joins the Goro Pirates to avenge her father's death, kicking off a side story. To unlock the Dark God’s Violin, follow the questline to the islands east of Madlantis, where you'll face a formidable fleet of Devil Flag pirates. Prioritize attacking the boss ship to advance the fight onto their vessel. After defeating the Devil Flags, you'll acquire the Dark God’s Violin and get the chance to test it in a 100-enemy brawl on the island.
After the battle, a cutscene introduces you to the captains of the Devil Flag fleet: Yakuza, Ronin, Shinobi, and Zeus. They challenge you, initiating a side quest. While defeating the Devil Flags isn't required for the main storyline, it's essential for collecting all the Dark Instruments.
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 across the seas in *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 gather these flags.
With 70 flags, Atali Island becomes accessible on your map. Prepare a robust landing party to handle multiple waves of attackers. Upon reaching the treasure chest, you must defeat Devil Flag Captain Yakuza to claim the Dark God’s Ocarina.
How To Obtain The Dark God’s Guitar in Pirate Yakuza
Following the defeat of Captain Yakuza, new objectives and cutscenes unfold, leading you to an island where the Pharoh Stone supposedly lies. However, this turns out to be a trap, initiating another 100-enemy fight where you can test your new Dark God’s Ocarina.
Next, you learn that Zeus is heading to Flame Island. To advance, you need a three-star ranking and 130 Devil Flags. Continue your assault on Devil Flag ships to accumulate flags. Upon reaching the required amount, head to the Flame Entrance Lighthouse, triggering a cutscene that leads to four treasure islands: Sunset, Heatwave, Welldone, and Scorching Heat. Remember, treasure islands don't allow the use of health items, so upgrade Goro and his crew accordingly.
After conquering the islands, you'll engage in another fleet battle, focusing on the boss ship. After defeating the first mate aboard the ship, you and four crew members (Jason, Masaru, Minami, and Saejima) can land on Flame Island. Fight through smaller battles until you face Captain Ronin. Utilize your Dark Instruments to defeat him and claim the Dark God of the Earth’s Guitar from the treasure chest.
How To Obtain the Dark God’s Saxophone in Pirate Yakuza
The Dark God’s Saxophone is the final Dark Instrument to unlock in *Pirate Yakuza*, requiring a Pirate Rank Four and 220 Devil Flags. Boost your rank by completing main story missions, recruiting new 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. Four additional islands (Snowview, Coldwave, Icicle Island, and Glacial) are available for plundering more Devil Flags. Defeat Captain Shinobi’s First Fleet before landing on Frost Island, where you'll navigate through battles leading to a cave and a recovery area.
The final boss fight against Captain Shinobi awaits on Frost Island. Use your Dark Instruments to swiftly defeat him and his crew. After the battle, a cutscene shows Zeus taking Misaki hostage, ending with Goro obtaining the Dark God’s Saxophone.
The last challenge is a two-stage battle against Zeus to rescue Misaki, requiring nearly fully upgraded Goromaru. While not necessary for collecting the Dark Instruments, finishing off Zeus completes the narrative arc.
And that’s how you obtain all the Dark Instruments in *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*.
*Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.*
