How To Obtain The Dark God’s Violin
The Dark God's Violin, the first Dark Instrument, is crucial for progressing the main story. It's obtained during Chapter 2, after a crew member, Jason, leads you to an old friend. This encounter introduces the Devil Flag pirates, who've killed Jason's friend and stolen the Pharaoh Stone. You'll meet Misaki, the friend's daughter, who joins your crew seeking revenge, initiating the side quest. Following this questline, leading you to islands east of Madlantis, involves defeating a powerful Devil Flag fleet (focus on the boss ship). Victory yields the Violin. The game then allows you to test it in a 100-enemy brawl. Defeating the Devil Flags on the island triggers a cutscene introducing the fleet captains: Yakuza, Ronin, Shinobi, and Zeus, who challenge you, officially beginning the sidequest. Note: defeating the Devil Flags isn't strictly necessary for the main story, but it is for collecting all Dark Instruments.
How To Obtain The Dark God’s Ocarina
After the initial brawl, Devil Flag markers appear on your map. Defeating these ships earns you Devil Flags; 70 are needed for the next instrument. Atali Island unlocks, requiring a strong landing party. Multiple waves of enemies precede 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
Defeating Captain Yakuza triggers a series of events, including another 100-enemy fight (use your Ocarina!). You then learn Zeus is headed to Flame Island. This stage requires at least a three-star ranking and 130 Devil Flags. Sail to the Flame Entrance Lighthouse, triggering a cutscene and access to four treasure islands (Sunset, Heatwave, Welldone, Scorching Heat) to conquer. Remember, treasure islands don't allow health item use, some have rest points instead. Upgrade Goro and his crew for success. After conquering the islands, another fleet battle ensues (focus on the boss ship). After boarding and defeating the first mate, land on Flame Island with Jason, Masaru, Minami, and Saejima (recommended). More battles lead to a fight with Captain Ronin. Use your Dark Instruments to defeat him and claim the Dark God of the Earth's Guitar.
How To Obtain the Dark God’s Saxophone
A Pirate Rank Four and 220 Devil Flags are needed for the final instrument. Sailing to the Frost Entrance Lighthouse initiates a fight with the Devil Flag fleet blocking Frost Island. Four more islands (Snowview, Coldwave, Icicle Island, Glacial) offer more Devil Flags. Defeat Captain Shinobi's First Fleet before landing. The island features battles, a recovery area, and a final boss fight against Captain Shinobi. After defeating him, a cutscene with Zeus ensues, ending with Goro obtaining the Saxophone. A final, challenging two-stage battle against Zeus to rescue Misaki follows (optional for obtaining the instruments).
This concludes your quest for all Dark Instruments in *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*.
