In *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*, Goro Majima wields two unique fighting styles, including the "Sea Dog" pirate style, which boasts four powerful finishers for crowd control. However, collecting all the dark instruments in the game is no small feat.
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 through the main story. You'll encounter it during Chapter 2, where your crew member Jason leads you to meet an old friend. Unfortunately, the Devil Flag pirates have already struck, killing Jason’s friend and stealing the Pharoh Stone.
Following this, you'll meet Misaki, the orphaned daughter of Jason’s friend, who joins the Goro Pirates seeking vengeance. The questline leads you to the islands east of Madlantis, where you'll face a formidable fleet of Devil Flag pirates. Concentrate your attacks on the boss ship to board and defeat them, securing the Dark God’s Violin. After receiving it, you'll test its prowess in a 100-enemy brawl on the island, which triggers a cutscene introducing the captains: Yakuza, Ronin, Shinobi, and Zeus. While not required for the main story, defeating these captains is essential to collecting all Dark Instruments.
How to Obtain the Dark God’s Ocarina in Pirate Yakuza
After the initial boss ship defeat and the 100-enemy brawl, you'll notice special Devil Flag markers on the seas. Defeating these ships earns you Devil Flags, and you need 70 to unlock Atali Island. Prepare a robust landing party for the waves of attackers on this island. After overcoming them, you'll face Captain Yakuza and secure the Dark God’s Ocarina from the treasure chest.

How to Obtain the Dark God’s Guitar in Pirate Yakuza
Post-Yakuza defeat, a series of cutscenes lead to a ruse by Yakuza, prompting another 100-enemy fight where you can experiment with the Dark God’s Ocarina. Learning Zeus is headed to Flame Island, you need a three-star ranking and 130 Devil Flags to progress. Sail to the Flame Entrance Lighthouse and conquer four treasure islands: Sunset, Heatwave, Welldone, and Scorching Heat. Note, these islands don’t allow health item use during battles, so ensure Goro and his crew are upgraded.
After navigating the treasure islands, engage in another fleet battle, focusing on the boss ship. After boarding and defeating the first mate, land on Flame Island with Jason, Masaru, Minami, and Saejima for the best chance at success. Defeat Captain Ronin and his crew using your Dark Instruments to 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, requiring a Pirate Rank Four and 220 Devil Flags. Achieve this rank by completing main story missions, recruiting crew members, and engaging in mini-games and side quests. Sail to the Frost Entrance Lighthouse to engage the Devil Flag Fleet and plunder four additional islands: Snowview, Coldwave, Icicle Island, and Glacial.
Defeat Captain Shinobi’s First Fleet before landing on Frost Island. Navigate through a series of battles leading to a cave and a recovery area. The final boss fight against Captain Shinobi and his crew awaits, followed by a cutscene where Zeus takes Misaki hostage. Defeating Shinobi grants Goro the Dark God’s Saxophone, concluding the collection of Dark Instruments.
The last encounter involves defeating Zeus and rescuing Misaki, a challenging two-stage battle requiring a nearly fully upgraded Goromaru. While not necessary for collecting the Dark Instruments, it's a fitting end to your journey through *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*.
