Demyx/Gameplay

Demyx is fought as a boss in Kingdom Hearts II. He attacks Sora and his allies in Hollow Bastion during the Battle of the 1000 Heartless.

When the fight begins, Demyx summons his "water forms", and Sora has forty seconds to destroy fifty of them. There are two types of water forms - those shaped like musical notes, and those shaped like Demyx. The note water forms can be grabbed with the Reaction Command "Wild Dance", which causes damages to many water forms over a large area. Limit commands also help to destroy the water forms quickly.

After the forms are destroyed, Demyx begins his normal attacks. He will leap across the arena, sprouts of water erupting from the ground in his wake, and he will summon pillars of water around him. Demyx can leap and summon water even when knocked into the air by a combo, so be careful attacking him in the air. Demyx will also summon a rain of bubbles from above, and fire a bombardment of bubbles at Sora directly. Sora may occasionally get the chance to use the "Show Stealer" command, which knocks Demyx into the air and stuns him for a short time.

When he has lost approximately half his health, Demyx will summon more water forms, and Sora must defeat ten of them in ten seconds. This is difficult, but doable. Afterwards, Demyx resumes his normal attacks, but also gains a new technique. He will walk towards Sora, swinging his sitar, summoning walls of water in front of him.

Most of Demyx's attacks knock Sora into the air, so the Aerial Recovery ability is very useful. It is highly advised the player try and keep their distance from Demyx until they have a clear opening to attack. For this reason, Thunder helps greatly, and Wisdom Form is also useful. However, there is a high chance Sora will change into Anti Form in this battle, using Wisdom Form is risky. Overall, Demyx is a dangerous opponent, but as long as the player fights cautiously he should fall.
