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. During Chapter 2, one of your crew members, Jason, will direct you to a waypoint where you'll meet an old friend of his. Here, Goro and his crew will confront the Devil Flag pirates, who have killed Jason's friend and stolen the priceless Pharoh Stone.

Following this, you'll encounter Misaki, the orphaned daughter of Jason's slain friend, who joins the Goro Pirates to seek revenge. This sets off the side story leading you to the islands east of Madlantis. You'll face a formidable enemy fleet of Devil Flag pirates, where it's strategic to focus your attacks on the boss ship. After defeating the Devil Flags, you'll acquire the Dark God’s Violin. You'll then have the chance to test this new finisher in a 100-enemy brawl on the island.

After the battle, a cutscene introduces you to the captains of the massive fleet: Yakuza, Ronin, Shinobi, and Zeus. While you don't need to fight them to complete the main story, defeating them is essential if you want to collect all the Dark Instruments.

After securing the first boss ship and engaging in the initial 100-enemy brawl, you'll notice special Devil Flag markers in various waters. Defeating these ships earns you Devil Flags, and you'll need 70 to unlock the next Dark Instrument. Engage any Devil Flag ships or occupied treasure islands you come across to quickly accumulate flags.

Once you have 70 flags, Atali Island will unlock 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.

After navigating the treasure islands, focus on defeating the boss ship in the subsequent fleet battle. Upon boarding and defeating the first mate, Goro and his chosen crew (Jason, Masaru, Minami, and Saejima) can land on Flame Island. After smaller battles, you'll confront Captain Ronin, using your Dark Instruments to secure victory and access the treasure chest with the Dark God of the Earth’s Guitar.
