Demyx Encounter at Hollow Bastion.

Demyx is the hardest boss in this challenge alongside The Experiment and white suit Xemnas, he only gets hard during the 2nd phase of the fight but he can still kill you during the 1st phase if you're not careful, despite how easy it looks.

I actually got lucky during the 2nd phase on this video, out of the many attempts I had he very rarely used the Showstopper attack, I seen it 4 times max on other attempts but I seen it hundreds of times here.

Around the start of the fight I kept trying to get an extra hit in after a combo, this was just a test to see if it worked out but obviously not since he countered :P

To kill the clones then just hit them once then use the reaction command, repeat this and they'll go down with plenty of time left (15-20 secs if you don't mess up but even if you do you should have a good few seconds left), he can summon 10 clones randomly during the fight in which you only have 10 seconds to deal with them but don't rush it, still use the reaction command twice, you'll have 3-5 seconds left if done right.

During the 1st phase the only safe time to attack him is after he shoots bubbles at you, when he does then go to the side a bit and slide dash him as he's about to land his back step, don't wait too long or he'll counter attack, combo him once then back off a bit and keep running side on from him, make sure to stay close enough to attack him again if he uses the bubble attack, if he jumps at you leaving water pillars in his path then close in a bit on him and carry on running sideways until he does the bubble attack again, if he summons the clones (Not the ones with the time limit) then take them out with explosion, don't use the reaction command as it can get you damaged or even killed when you come out of it, if you don't kill the clones fast enough though they'll do some uber combo on you that will kill you if you've already taken damage, you have plenty of time before they combo you but if you just can't kill them for a bit then run in and use a reaction command on them.

Demyx has 2 other attacks which can be used in even phase which are "Showstopper" and falling bubbles, for Showstopper he'll play his Sitar and slowly move towards you, just spam triangle then air combo him, the falling bubbles can be avoided by aerial dodging in a direction (Preferably to the side or back), you know when he's about to use this attack when he plays his sitar on the spot and says "Water!", you don't have much time to react though so this attack can hit you quite often, in the 2nd phase more bubbles will fall too.

The 2nd phase is when Demyx becomes very difficult, the only safe time to attack him now is again with the Showstopper attack or when he does the attack where water pillars close in on either side of his position, to avoid this attack then wait until Demyx is close and Aerial Dodge slightly towards Demyx, go too far and the water columbs will hit you, Demyx will stop moving when he gets underneath you so you don't have to move far if at all? When you land then you can combo him if he's just finishing his attack off, if you jump too early or late though you'll either be hit by his Sitar or you'll miss the opportunity to attack him.

Now the main problem with the 2nd phase is his homing water pillar attack, it's very difficult to avoid, getting the timing right 100% of the time seems impossible, you'll need to do a few attempts at him before you can dodge this attack decently at best, another problem is when he drops bubbles from the sky, if you don't aerial dodge out of the way fast enough you take alot of damage and Demyx can follow up with a homing water attack which you won't avoid, if you had Aerial Dodge Lv 2 or 3 then avoiding his homing water attack should be easier, his other attacks can be avoided by keeping a bit of distance from him.
