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

In *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*, Goro Majima boasts two distinct fighting styles, one of which is the "Sea Dog" pirate style. This style is enhanced with four powerful finishers perfect for dealing with large crowds. However, collecting all the dark instruments is quite the challenge.

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 it's crucial for advancing the main storyline. You'll encounter it during Chapter 2 when a crew member, Jason, directs you to meet an old friend. This meeting leads to a confrontation with the Devil Flag pirates, who have not only killed Jason’s friend but also stolen the Pharoh Stone. After this encounter, you'll meet Misaki, the orphaned daughter of Jason's friend, who joins the Goro Pirates to avenge her father. The questline takes you to the islands east of Madlantis where you'll face a formidable fleet of Devil Flag pirates. Focus your attacks on the boss ship to progress. Once aboard and after defeating the Devil Flags, you'll claim the Dark God’s Violin. You'll then have the opportunity to test this new finishing move in a 100-enemy brawl on the island. This victory triggers a cutscene introducing the Devil Flag fleet captains: Yakuza, Ronin, Shinobi, and Zeus, challenging the Goro Pirates. While defeating the Devil Flags isn't required to complete the main story, it's necessary to collect 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 your first 100-enemy brawl, you'll notice special Devil Flag markers across the waters of *Pirate Yakuza*. Defeating these ships will earn you Devil Flags, and you'll need 70 to unlock the next Dark Instrument. Amass these flags by confronting Devil Flags wherever you find them. Once you have enough, Atali Island will become available on your map. Prepare a strong landing party as you'll face multiple waves of attackers to reach the treasure chest containing the Dark God’s Ocarina. You must defeat Devil Flag Captain Yakuza to claim it.

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

Following the defeat of Captain Yakuza, new objectives lead you to an island supposedly holding the Pharoh Stone. This turns out to be a trap, triggering another 100-enemy fight where you can use your newly acquired Dark God’s Ocarina. Learning that Zeus is headed to Flame Island, you'll need a three-star ranking and 130 Devil Flags to proceed. Sail to the Flame Entrance Lighthouse and conquer four treasure islands: Sunset, Heatwave, Welldone, and Scorching Heat, keeping in mind that you can't use health items during these battles. After navigating these challenges, focus on the boss ship during the fleet battle, board it, and defeat the first mate to reach Flame Island. Choose Jason, Masaru, Minami, and Saejima for your landing party and use your Dark Instruments to defeat Captain Ronin, securing 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 Four and 220 Devil Flags. Engage in main story missions, recruit crew members, and participate in mini-games and side quests to reach this rank. Sail to the Frost Entrance Lighthouse to confront the Devil Flag’s Fleet blocking Frost Island. You'll also have the chance to plunder four additional islands: Snowview, Coldwave, Icicle Island, and Glacial to gather more Devil Flags. After defeating Captain Shinobi’s First Fleet, navigate through battles on Frost Island leading to a cave and a recovery area. The final battle against Captain Shinobi awaits, and upon victory, a cutscene shows Zeus taking Misaki hostage. Defeating Shinobi grants you the Dark God’s Saxophone, completing your collection of Dark Instruments.

While there's one last boss encounter to defeat Zeus and rescue Misaki, it's not necessary for collecting all the Dark Instruments. However, it's a fitting conclusion to your journey through *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*.
