The Dark God's Violin, the first and story-essential Dark Instrument, unlocks during Chapter 2. A crew member, Jason, leads you to an old friend, only to discover they've been killed by Devil Flag pirates, who also stole the Pharaoh Stone. This sets off a side story involving Misaki, Jason's friend's daughter, who joins your crew seeking revenge. Following the questline leads you to islands east of Madlantis, where a challenging battle against a superior Devil Flag fleet awaits. Focus your attacks on the boss ship to board and defeat them, earning the Dark God's Violin. The game then allows you to test it in a 100-enemy brawl. Defeating the Devil Flags on the island introduces the four Devil Flag Captains: Yakuza, Ronin, Shinobi, and Zeus, initiating the sidequest to collect all Dark Instruments. Note that defeating the Devil Flags isn't mandatory for the main story.

Following Captain Yakuza's defeat, a series of events leads to another 100-enemy battle. Then, you learn Zeus is heading to Flame Island. This stage requires at least a three-star ranking and 130 Devil Flags. Sail to the Flame Entrance Lighthouse, triggering a series of battles across four treasure islands: Sunset, Heatwave, Welldone, and Scorching Heat. Remember, health items are unavailable on treasure islands. Upgrade your crew for success. After conquering the islands, another fleet battle leads to Flame Island, where you face Captain Ronin. Jason, Masaru, Minami, and Saejima are recommended crew members. Defeating Ronin unlocks the Dark God of the Earth's Guitar.

For the final Dark Instrument, the Dark God's Saxophone, you need Pirate Rank Four and 220 Devil Flags. Sail to the Frost Entrance Lighthouse to trigger a battle against the Devil Flag fleet blocking Frost Island. Four more islands (Snowview, Coldwave, Icicle Island, and Glacial) offer more battles and Devil Flags. Defeat Captain Shinobi's fleet and the pirates on Frost Island, culminating in a final battle against Captain Shinobi himself. A subsequent battle against Zeus, rescuing Misaki, is optional but concludes the side quest. This unlocks the final Dark Instrument.
