Question

how do you beat the guy with the guitar in hollow bastion and how do you beat the 50 guys in 40 seconds water guys dont say to press triangle it doesnt work

Answer 1

well, first, do the same thing that you did when you faced him in the underworld. but rely more on the reaction command (the pressing triangle button) after that, you need to be more careful, his attacks are really annoying, so use thunder right after an attack, then go in for at least one combo and then get out, if you don't want to use thunder, then you have to wait before you get an opportunity to strike.

and about the water guys reaction command, it only will work if they are in the shape of an note, but they only get that way if you hit them first. but make sure to press it multiple times when you grab them, then it works, and kills about 2-8 guys, depending on conditions, after which, you get pulled into another water guy thing,  i believe it's 30 in 20 seconds. then, after you beat him up some more, you have to kill 10 in 10 seconds, this time ignore the reaction command, and just beat them all up, and thunder helps here too.

Answer 2

Welcome to one of the most frustrating Boss Fights in the game! When the battle starts out, you have forty seconds to destroy fifty of his water creations. In order to do this effectively, you should probably just hit Triangle and X as much as possible. The Wild Dance reaction command will devastate Demyx's water army in no time. Contrary to what I said before, Explosion really isn't that effective (especially if you have a bunch of combo boosts equipped). You're better off relying on Wild Dance. Once you've defeated all fifty, Demyx will attack. Note that if you fail to defeat all fifty forms, you will lose the battle.

Demyx is quite prone to combos, so if you can get him stuck in a pattern where you can pull off most of a ground combo, knock him in the air, and pull off an aerial combo, you can take good chunks of health away. Unfortunately, Demyx has his own attack pattern that you can get caught in. He tends to dart across the screen a lot, with a trail of geysers that follow in his wake. He follows this attack up with a circle of geysers around himself. If you end up right next to him before this attack, try to break him out of the pattern before you get hit yourself.

He also controls very fast moving water bubbles. If you see him walking while sort of dancing, he's about to either shoot bubbles at you from a distance, or have bubbles rain down around him.

At times, Demyx will say, "Dance, water, dance!" at which point the screen will turn dark and you will have ten seconds to kill ten more of his water creations. At this point, you'll need to be very very quick on your feet. Run in close, slam the Triangle and X buttons, and pray you don't have to start over.

Using Drive forms in this battle usually isn't a good idea for a couple reasons. During this battle, Sora seems to turn into Anti-Sora a lot (if you haven't experienced this already, it's not a good form to turn into; it happens at random times, and often at inopportune times; while Anti-Sora's attack speed is a lot faster, you won't be doing quite as much damage, and you can't heal at all while in this form, or revert without just letting the drive gauge run out, which actually does empty faster if you attack). The other reason is because of Demyx's occasional ten second challenge noted above. While in a different form, it may be harder to get rid of the creations within ten seconds due to the flair of Sora's attacks. You may want to use a Drive form though when Demyx has little HP left.

Once Demyx loses about half his health, he will start actually attacking Sora with his sitar. Breaking free from one of Demyx's combos can be tough, but the Retaliating Slash ability can help deal damage to Demyx while he mercilessly hits you. Also at this time, Demyx will walk around with a wall of geysers that spray up in front of him every second or so. Reaching him at this point is tough, so it's best to run from him for a few seconds until he changes his mind and starts attacking physically. Try to get behind him now and hit him. To top it all off, he now has a line of homing geysers that are quite difficult to dodge.

Every once in a while, Demyx will say, "Ain't it a blast?" and come dancing at you. Quickly use the Show Stealer reaction command to distract Demyx while he's playing and damage him for a large amount. Failure to press the Triangle button will result in the same thing happening, only Demyx notices and whacks Sora. This isn't good, and will even result in death if you have low-ish HP.

If you can survive the brutal second half of the battle, you're ready for anything the game will throw at you from here on out.
