Dark Instruments Guide: Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii

In *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*, Goro Majima is equipped with two distinct fighting styles, one of which is the "Sea Dog" pirate style, featuring four powerful finishers perfect for handling large crowds. However, unlocking all the dark instruments in the game is a challenging journey that requires dedication and skill.

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 storyline. You'll encounter this opportunity in Chapter 2 when your crewmate Jason directs you to meet an old friend. During this mission, you'll cross paths with the Devil Flag pirates, who have murdered Jason's friend and stolen a precious artifact known as the Pharaoh Stone.

After this tragic encounter, you'll meet Misaki, the orphaned daughter of Jason's friend, who joins your crew seeking vengeance. This sets the stage for a side story that leads you to the islands east of Madlantis. Here, you'll face a formidable fleet of Devil Flag pirates. Focus your attacks on the boss ship to progress to the next phase of the fight on their vessel. Upon defeating the Devil Flags, you'll secure the Dark God's Violin, which you can immediately test in a thrilling 100-enemy brawl on the island.

Following this victory, a cutscene introduces the captains of the Devil Flag fleet—Yakuza, Ronin, Shinobi, and Zeus—who challenge you to take them on. While defeating them isn't necessary for the main storyline, it's crucial for collecting all the Dark Instruments.

How To Obtain The Dark God's Ocarina in Pirate Yakuza

After securing the Dark God's Violin and engaging in the initial brawl, you'll start noticing Devil Flag markers across the seas in *Pirate Yakuza*. Defeating these ships earns you Devil Flags, and you'll need 70 to unlock the next Dark Instrument. Engage any Devil Flag ships or treasure islands you encounter to gather these flags swiftly.

With 70 flags, Atali Island becomes accessible on your map. Prepare a strong landing party, as you'll face multiple waves of enemies before reaching the treasure chest containing the Dark God's Ocarina. To claim it, you must defeat Devil Flag Captain Yakuza.

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

After defeating Captain Yakuza, you'll pursue the location of the Pharaoh Stone, only to find it's a trap set by the Devil Flag Captain, leading to another 100-enemy fight. Use this opportunity to test your new Dark God's Ocarina.

Next, you'll learn that Zeus is headed to Flame Island. To proceed, you'll need a three-star ranking and 130 Devil Flags. Navigate to the Flame Entrance Lighthouse to trigger a cutscene, revealing four treasure islands: Sunset, Heatwave, Welldone, and Scorching Heat. Note that these islands prohibit the use of health items during battles, but some offer rest points instead of inventory access. Upgrade Goro and his crew to ensure success.

After conquering the treasure islands, you'll face another fleet battle. Focus on the boss ship to board it and defeat the first mate, allowing Goro and his selected crew—Jason, Masaru, Minami, and Saejima—to land on Flame Island. After a series of smaller battles, you'll confront Captain Ronin. Utilize your Dark Instruments to triumph 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 final Dark Instrument, the Dark God's Saxophone, requires a Pirate Rank Four and 220 Devil Flags. Engage in main story missions, recruit crew members, and participate in mini-games and side quests to boost your rank. Navigate to the Frost Entrance Lighthouse to trigger a cutscene and engage the Devil Flag fleet blocking Frost Island's entrance. Four additional islands (Snowview, Coldwave, Icicle Island, and Glacial) are available for plundering and collecting more Devil Flags.

Defeat Captain Shinobi's First Fleet before landing on Frost Island. Navigate through a series of battles and a recovery area to reach the final boss fight against Captain Shinobi. After defeating him, a cutscene unfolds where Zeus takes Misaki hostage, and Goro obtains the final Dark Instrument.

The game concludes with one last battle against Zeus to rescue Misaki, a challenging two-stage fight that requires nearly fully upgraded equipment. However, this final encounter is optional if your goal is solely to collect all four Dark Instruments.

That's the complete guide on how to obtain all Dark Instruments in *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*.
