The Dark God's Violin is the first, and story-essential, Dark Instrument. It's obtained during Chapter 2. A crew member, Jason, leads you to a meeting with an old friend, but this encounter introduces the Devil Flag pirates, who've killed Jason's friend and stolen the Pharaoh Stone. This sets off a side story involving Misaki, the friend's daughter, who joins Goro's crew seeking revenge. Following the questline leads you to islands east of Madlantis, where a challenging battle with a stronger-than-usual Devil Flag fleet awaits. Focus your attacks on the boss ship to board and defeat them, earning you the Dark God's Violin. The game then lets you test it out 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 Goro to further battles. While not required for the main story, defeating these captains is necessary to collect all Dark Instruments.

After the initial 100-enemy brawl and obtaining the Violin, you'll encounter Devil Flag markers on your map. Defeating these ships earns you Devil Flags. Gathering 70 Devil Flags unlocks Atali Island. Prepare a strong landing party, as multiple waves of enemies await. Defeat them to reach the treasure chest containing the Dark God's Ocarina, but first, you must defeat Devil Flag Captain Yakuza.

Defeating Captain Yakuza triggers cutscenes and new objectives, seemingly leading to the Pharaoh Stone. However, it's a ruse, leading to another 100-enemy fight. Goro then learns Zeus is headed to Flame Island. This stage requires a three-star ranking and 130 Devil Flags. Sail to the Flame Entrance Lighthouse, triggering a cutscene and unlocking four treasure islands (Sunset, Heatwave, Welldone, and Scorching Heat) to conquer. Remember, health items are unavailable on these islands; upgrade your crew. After conquering the islands, another fleet battle awaits; focus on the boss ship. Defeat the first mate to land on Flame Island. Jason, Masaru, Minami, and Saejima are recommended crew members. More battles lead to a final confrontation with Captain Ronin. Use your acquired Dark Instruments to defeat him and obtain the Dark God of the Earth's Guitar.

The final Dark Instrument, the Dark God's Saxophone, requires Pirate Rank Four and 220 Devil Flags. Sailing to the Frost Entrance Lighthouse triggers a cutscene and a battle with the Devil Flag fleet blocking Frost Island. Four more islands (Snowview, Coldwave, Icicle Island, and Glacial) provide opportunities to gather more Devil Flags. Defeat Captain Shinobi's First Fleet before landing on Frost Island. Battles on the island lead to a cave and a recovery area before the final boss fight against Captain Shinobi. After defeating him, a cutscene with Zeus ensues, where he takes Misaki hostage. Goro obtains the Saxophone. A final, challenging two-stage battle against Zeus to rescue Misaki is optional, but completing it concludes the Devil Flag storyline.
