As stated above, Demyx will start off with summoning his water forms. Use
'Wild Dance' Reaction as before and get ready for a REAL fight.

Lock on immediately, this guy is extremely cheesy and you wanna keep an eye on
him at all times. I suggest equipping Donald and Goofy with Potions or
Hi-Potions if you don't normally (I don't always, as they have a tendency to
use them when I don't feel it's necessary). In this case, they will save you.
Also make sure to have Donald equipped with his Donal Cure ability.

During this battle, you may find yourself with the opportunity to hit a
Reaction when you're near him, though this is sort of rare. It's called
'Show Stealer' and it will cause Sora to stand behind him, play act guitar
with his Keyblade and then knock Demyx for a good loop. This reaction has a
very, very short time frame in which to execute, and if you fail, you instead
will be the one knocked back. If you succeed, take the opportunity to run up
and smack him around until he recovers.

One of his first attacks is to shout "Water!" and several balls of water will
fall from the sky, blanketing a large area. It's very difficult to avoid, your
best bet is to run to the side. Individual balls don't hurt much, but they can
be rather painful if several hit you. If you get lucky, they will all fall
behind you as you run. If this does happen, take the opportunity to run up to
him and smack him around for a few seconds, as this does leave him open for
attack.

The above attack will often be followed up by a rapid fire shot of several of
the balls going directly for you. Be prepared for this and try to jump out of
the way, because if you get hit in the face by several of these in succession,
it is downright devastating, if not outright lethal.

The other attacks he will are as follows. First, several spouts of water will
erupt on the ground around him. Second, he will raise a bit off the ground and
rush in one direction, leaving a trail of those same water spouts behind him.
They can knock you very high in the air and hurt moderately. The main danger
is that he has a tendency to execute this attack several times in a row and
can easily juggle you to death if you aren't careful.

In the above attack, his "rush with water behind him" attack is usually aimed
right at Sora. If you are the correct distance he will land right next to you.
He will of course immediately call up the circle of spouts around him, but if
you're inside them, they are no danger. You can get about a combo off, maybe a
lil less before he uses the wall again. Hitting him will not stun him or cause
him to stop his attacks unless you manage to knock him into the air. So that's
a risky way to get a couple hits in, but if that's all you need to get a full
drive bar (more on Drives in this battle later), then go ahead, as activating
Drive heals you.

Throughout the battle, he will also be summoning Water Forms near him, but not
the timed kind, they just sort of help him out in battle. If you manage to get
close to him, you can use Wild Dance to inflict a bit of damage on him.

Getting close to him is highly probelmatic though. One of the best ways is to
use one of his Water Forms, use Wild Dance and inch close to him, hitting him.
Once you do that, land a combo or two on him. Do your best to get him in a
juggle. Regardless, after a combo or two, he will revert to his relentless,
constant attacks, so you'll wanna retreat immediately.

Another, more painful way to get close to him is to simply let yourself get
hit by the water jets, use Aerial Recovery high up and coast down to him,
trying to land an air combo on him when you get down far enough. This is very
dangerous though and I don't really recommend it unless you feel you can
survive several of those attacks.

If at ANY TIME during the battle you hear him say "Dance, Water, Dance!"
immediately shift your focus to the forms around him. You will have about 10
seconds to kill 10 of them, which is harder than it sounds. Make use of
'Wild Dance' and heavy combos as quickly as you can or you'll lose the fight
simply by running out of time. It's extremely cheesy and highly likely he will
do it 2-3 times during the course of the battle.

After you defeat these though is a great, awesome time to get some damage off,
as it leaves him winded on the ground for a moment. The second you beat the
Water Forms, start laying into him with combos.

After you've taken his life down a bit, he will start using a new attack,
where he walks forward and causes several walls of water spouts to erupt in
front of him. It may as well be a force field because it makes it nearly
impossible to get anywhere near him. Given he will be walking towards you
while doing this, move the heck away. If he backs you against a wall, move to
the side, he will turn to face you and the spouts will turn with him. This is
the easiest of his attacks to evade.

Another new attack he gets is to send a wall of water spouts at you, that seem
to have a moderate homing effect, as they will arc towards you and end in an
eruption of several spouts. Run to the side and a bit towards him to try and
evade this.

Another attack he gains is to cause smaller walls of water spouts to erupt on
both sides of him, in succession. If you can get in between these, you may get
a combo off before he knocks you for a loop, as he will use his own melee
combos while this is happening, which shouldn't be taken lightly. This attack
is actually his main weakness in th latter part of the battle (aside from
right after he is finished summoning), because if you get in there, you can do
a good amount of damage.

Like I said above, this man is super cheesy, if you aren't careful, you will
be juggled to death by his water attacks, which are one, after another, after
another. Getting close to him becomes even more difficult as the battle drags
on. When he gets lower on health, Wisdom Form helps a lot, as you can keep
your distance and fire away at him. Stay aware though, that regardless of how
much you move and strafe, he will always find a way to smack you into the air
with his water attacks. USE WISDOM FORM EVERY CHANCE YOU GET! I can't stress
that enough. While he will still knock you around a bit, it is easily the
best way to unload lots of damage on him all at once.

Overall, this is the first genuinely difficult boss battle of the game. His
super cheesy attacks combined with his short timer Water Form summons make him
a giant pain in the rear end. Especially in the second half of this fight,
play defensively, stay away from most of his attacks if you can, as they only
get more and more agressive and cheesy. Take advantage of the weaknesses I
mentioned and you can win. I don't recommend magic here. Fire is painful for
him but you have to get too close for too long, and in the end it is simply
not effective. Again I say, Wisdom Form! This Drive is extremely beneficial, I
recommend using it during the latter half of this battle when his attacks get
really beefed up.

here you go i got it off a website
