In *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*, Goro Majima can master two distinct fighting styles, one of which is the "Sea Dog" pirate style. This style is enriched with four powerful finishers, perfect for tackling large crowds. However, collecting all the dark instruments in the game 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 is crucial for progressing through the main storyline. You'll encounter it during Chapter 2 when Jason, one of your crew members, directs you to meet an old friend. At this juncture, Goro and his crew will clash with the Devil Flag pirates, who have stolen the Pharoh Stone after killing Jason's friend.
Following this encounter, you'll meet Misaki, the orphaned daughter of the slain friend, who joins the Goro Pirates seeking vengeance. This sets the stage for a side story leading you to the islands east of Madlantis. Here, you'll confront a formidable fleet of Devil Flag pirates. Focus your attacks on the boss ship to advance to the next phase of the battle onboard their vessel. After defeating the Devil Flags, you'll earn the Dark God's Violin. Immediately after, you'll have the chance to test this new finishing move in a 100-enemy brawl on the island.
After the brawl, a cutscene introduces the captains of the Devil Flag fleet: Yakuza, Ronin, Shinobi, and Zeus. They challenge the Goro Pirates, marking the official start of this side quest. While not necessary for the main story, defeating these captains is essential to collecting all the Dark Instruments in *Pirate Yakuza*.
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 Devil Flag markers scattered across the waters in *Pirate Yakuza*. Defeating these ships will earn you Devil Flags, and you'll need 70 to proceed to the next Dark Instrument. It's wise to engage every Devil Flag ship and plunder any treasure island they occupy to quickly gather these flags.
Once you've amassed 70 flags, Atali Island will unlock on your map. Prepare a robust landing party for this challenge, as you'll face multiple waves of attackers. After overcoming these foes, you'll reach a treasure chest containing the Dark God's Ocarina. However, you must first defeat Devil Flag Captain Yakuza to claim it as yours.

How to Obtain the Dark God's Guitar in Pirate Yakuza
After defeating Captain Yakuza, a series of cutscenes and new objectives will unfold, leading you to an island where the Pharoh Stone is supposedly hidden. However, it turns out to be a ruse, and you'll face another 100-enemy fight. Use this opportunity to test your new Dark God's Ocarina against the mob.
Following this, you'll learn that Zeus is headed to Flame Island. To tackle this next challenge, ensure you have at least a three-star ranking and 130 Devil Flags. Sail to the Flame Entrance Lighthouse to trigger a cutscene, then conquer four treasure islands: Sunset, Heatwave, Welldone, and Scorching Heat. Remember, these islands don't allow the use of health items during battles, so upgrade Goro and his landing crew accordingly.
After navigating through 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. Choose Jason, Masaru, Minami, and Saejima for this mission. After a series of smaller battles, you'll confront Captain Ronin. Utilize your Dark Instruments to defeat him and his crew, then 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 in *Pirate Yakuza*, requiring a Pirate Rank 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 220 Devil Flags.
Sail to the Frost Entrance Lighthouse to trigger a cutscene and engage the Devil Flag fleet blocking the entrance to Frost Island. You'll also have access to four other islands: Snowview, Coldwave, Icicle Island, and Glacial, where you can gather more Devil Flags.
Defeat Captain Shinobi's First Fleet before landing on Frost Island. Navigate through a series of battles leading to a cave, followed by a recovery area to restore your health. The final boss fight against Captain Shinobi awaits you on Frost Island. After defeating him, a cutscene will play where Zeus takes Misaki hostage, and Goro will obtain the Dark God's Saxophone.
The last boss encounter involves defeating Zeus and rescuing Misaki. This challenging two-stage battle requires a nearly fully upgraded Goromaru. While not necessary for collecting the Dark Instruments, it's a fitting conclusion to your journey against the Devil Flags.
And that's how you obtain all Dark Instruments in *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*.
