Guide: Securing All Dark Instruments in 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 that boasts four powerful finishers ideal for crowd control. However, acquiring all the dark instruments is no easy feat and requires a dedicated journey through the game.

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 is essential for progressing the main storyline. You'll encounter the quest to obtain it during Chapter 2. Here, one of your crew, Jason, will direct you to meet an old friend. This leads to a confrontation with the Devil Flag pirates, who have murdered Jason’s friend and stolen the priceless Pharoh Stone.

Following this event, you'll meet Misaki, the orphaned daughter of Jason’s deceased friend, who joins your crew seeking vengeance. This encounter sets the stage for the side story. To unlock the Dark God's Violin, follow the questline to the islands east of Madlantis. You'll face a formidable fleet of Devil Flag pirates; focus your attacks on the boss ship to advance. Once aboard, defeat the pirates to claim the Violin. You'll then get the chance to use this new finishing move in a 100-enemy brawl on the island.

After defeating the Devil Flags, a cutscene introduces you to the fleet's captains: Yakuza, Ronin, Shinobi, and Zeus. They challenge you, marking the official start of this side quest. While defeating them isn't necessary for the main story, it's essential for collecting all the Dark Instruments.

How to Obtain the Dark God's Ocarina in Pirate Yakuza

Post your initial victory and brawl, you'll notice Devil Flag markers across various waters. Each defeated Devil Flag ship rewards you with flags, and you need 70 to proceed. Engage these ships and treasure islands controlled by them to quickly amass the required flags.

Once you have 70 flags, Atali Island becomes accessible. Prepare a strong landing party as you'll face multiple waves of attackers. The ultimate goal is to reach the treasure chest containing the Dark God's Ocarina, but you must first defeat Devil Flag Captain Yakuza. After this battle, the Ocarina is yours.

How to Obtain the Dark God's Guitar in Pirate Yakuza

After defeating Captain Yakuza, follow the new objectives leading to the supposed location of the Pharoh Stone. However, it's a trap, triggering another 100-enemy fight where you can test your new Ocarina. Following this, you'll learn that Zeus is headed to Flame Island.

Preparing for this gauntlet requires a three-star ranking and 130 Devil Flags. Keep engaging the pirates to gather the necessary flags. Once achieved, sail to the Flame Entrance Lighthouse to trigger a cutscene, unlocking four treasure islands: Sunset, Heatwave, Welldone, and Scorching Heat. Note that you can't use health items during these battles, so upgrade Goro and his crew for success.

After conquering the treasure islands, you'll face another fleet battle. Focus on the boss ship, board it, and defeat the first mate to land on Flame Island. Take Jason, Masaru, Minami, and Saejima for the landing. Overcome the small battles and face Captain Ronin, using your Dark Instruments to secure victory. The Dark God of the Earth's Guitar awaits in 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. Achieve this through main story missions, recruiting new crew, and engaging in mini-games and side quests. You'll also need 220 Devil Flags.

Sail to the Frost Entrance Lighthouse to trigger a cutscene, then battle the Devil Flag's Fleet blocking Frost Island. Four additional islands (Snowview, Coldwave, Icicle Island, and Glacial) are available for plundering more flags. Defeat Captain Shinobi's First Fleet before landing on Frost Island, where you'll face multiple battles leading into a cave, followed by a recovery area.

The final boss fight against Captain Shinobi and his crew takes place beyond the recovery area. After defeating him, a cutscene shows Zeus taking Misaki hostage, and you'll obtain the final Dark Instrument. The last boss encounter against Zeus to rescue Misaki is challenging but not necessary for collecting all four Dark Instruments.

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