Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii equips Goro Majima with two unique combat styles. His “Sea Dog” pirate style includes four powerful finishing moves for crowd control. Acquiring all Dark Instruments in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is a challenging journey.

Acquiring 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 required to advance the main storyline. In Chapter 2, a crew member, Jason, directs you to a waypoint to meet an old friend. There, Goro and his crew confront the Devil Flag pirates, who have murdered Jason’s friend and stolen a valuable treasure known as the Pharoh Stone.

Next, you meet Misaki, the orphaned daughter of Jason’s slain friend. She joins the Goro Pirates, driven by a desire for vengeance, sparking a side story. By following this questline, which leads to the islands east of Madlantis, you’ll unlock the Dark God’s Violin.

You’ll face a formidable Devil Flag pirate fleet, far stronger than previous encounters. Focus your attacks on the boss ship to progress to a boarding battle. Defeating the Devil Flags grants you the Dark God’s Violin. Afterward, the game lets you test this finishing move in a 100-enemy brawl on the island.

After clearing the island, a cutscene introduces the captains of the Devil Flag fleet: Yakuza, Ronin, Shinobi, and Zeus. They taunt the Goro Pirates, initiating the sidequest. While defeating them isn’t required for the main story, it’s essential for collecting all Dark Instruments in Pirate Yakuza.

Securing the Dark God’s Ocarina in Pirate Yakuza

After defeating the initial boss ship and surviving the 100-enemy brawl, Devil Flag markers appear across the waters in Pirate Yakuza. Defeating these ships earns you Devil Flags. To unlock the next Dark Instrument, you need 70 Devil Flags. Engage every Devil Flag ship or treasure island you encounter to gather flags quickly.

Once you’ve collected 70 flags, Atali Island unlocks. Prepare a strong landing party, as this treasure island features multiple waves of enemies. You’ll eventually reach a treasure chest containing the Dark God’s Ocarina, but you must first defeat Captain Yakuza to claim it.

Claiming the Dark God’s Guitar in Pirate Yakuza

After defeating Captain Yakuza, cutscenes reveal new objectives, including a false lead about the Pharoh Stone’s location. This triggers another 100-enemy fight, where you can use the Dark God’s Ocarina to overpower the mob.

Goro’s crew learns Zeus is headed to Flame Island. This stage is a grueling gauntlet, requiring a three-star ranking and 130 Devil Flags. Keep attacking Devil Flag ships while sailing to meet these requirements.

With enough flags, sail to the Flame Entrance Lighthouse to trigger a cutscene. You must conquer four treasure islands—Sunset, Heatwave, Welldone, and Scorching Heat—without using health items during battles. Some islands offer rest points. Ensure Goro and his crew are upgraded for success.

After clearing the treasure islands, a fleet battle awaits. Focus on the boss ship, board it, and defeat the first mate to land on Flame Island.

Select Jason, Masaru, Minami, and Saejima for the Flame Island mission. Fight through smaller battles before facing Captain Ronin. Use your Dark Instruments to defeat him and his crew, securing the Dark God’s Guitar from the treasure chest. One instrument remains.

Obtaining the Dark God’s Saxophone in Pirate Yakuza

The Dark God’s Saxophone is the final Dark Instrument in Pirate Yakuza. You need a Pirate Rank Four, achievable through main missions, recruiting crew, and completing mini-games or side quests. Additionally, collect 220 Devil Flags.

Sail to the Frost Entrance Lighthouse to trigger a cutscene. Engage the Devil Flag fleet blocking Frost Island and plunder four additional islands—Snowview, Coldwave, Icicle Island, and Glacial—for more Devil Flags.

Defeat Captain Shinobi’s First Fleet before landing to face the Devil Flag pirates. Like other treasure islands, expect multiple battles leading to a cave, followed by a recovery area to restore health after waves of enemies.

Beyond the recovery area lies the final boss fight on Frost Island against Captain Shinobi and his crew. This battle is similar to previous captain encounters, so you should defeat them efficiently. A cutscene follows where Zeus takes Misaki hostage, and Goro secures the final Dark Instrument.

A final boss fight against Zeus awaits to rescue Misaki. This two-stage battle, starting at sea and ending on an island, is the toughest yet, requiring a nearly fully upgraded Goromaru. While optional for collecting Dark Instruments, defeating Zeus completes the Devil Flag storyline.

That’s how to unlock all Dark Instruments in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii.
