"Meet the new and improved Boris! I took what I wanted, and in return, I gave him so much more! And this time, there's no Ink Demon, no escape. Boris, tear him apart! Leave nothing!" — Alice Angel introducing Brute Boris to Henry, before ordering the former to kill the latter Bendy and the Ink Machine: Chapter 4

Brute Boris is the hulking, mutated reincarnation of Buddy Boris, and the final boss of Chapter 4: Colossal Wonders in Bendy and the Ink Machine. Once kidnapped, this is what Buddy Boris became after Alice Angel claimed his heart and later defaced him in a monstrous way by her claims of giving him "so much more", by forcing various bits of scrap into Buddy Boris, causing his body to rapidly reject them. This ultimately caused Buddy Boris to mutate and swell out of control due to the excessive amount of scrap used for his body.

Description

Brute Boris is a large, reanimated, bulkier version of Buddy Boris with gory detail. He has massive hands, with gloves sporting some stitches and ink splats. He sports gauntlet-like strap coverings around his wrists. He has a broken leg brace around his left leg and a broken bone sticking out from his knee. There is what appears to be a belt wrapped around his right shoe. Some few organic tubes connect over his right arm, and two pipes sticking from the left shoulder. His chest has been ripped open, revealing ribs and pumping organs. His overalls are ripped and splattered with ink drips due to the strength that is given to him, with a torn right strap. All of his skin (except for his head) appears to resemble ink.

His head looks almost untouched, but the eyes have been replaced by X-shaped stitches, similar to the dead Boris Clones, but caramel brown instead of black. The tip of his left ear is torn off. He also wears a broken dog cone around his neck, with a ring resembling Alice's halo.

Behavior

With his mind corrupted, he was transformed from a peaceful, timid character to a highly aggressive beast. Compared to his former self, he is very hostile towards Henry, seeing him as his victim to pursue. As such, he does not hesitate to attack Henry. Because of his tremendous strength and size, Brute Boris is physically belligerent, strong enough to destroy anything he throws or charges over. He also seems to be more of a servant to Alice Angel than to any other monster or character in the game.

His ripped chest frequently leaks blood-like ink, forcing him to stop fighting and rest for a few seconds. He becomes vulnerable to Henry's attacks during these breaks.

In-Game Appearances

Bendy and the Ink Machine

Encountering

Brute Boris makes his appearance towards the end of the chapter. During the Haunted House ride inside the ballroom, Brute Boris will appear from the darkness and hold on the cart. He grunts with few coughs, and throws the cart Henry was using away from him. After this, Henry will have no choice other than to to fight him.

Following the confrontation, Henry defeats Brute Boris, resulting him to leak a heavy amount of ink before collapsing onto the floor. He turns into ink and dissolves. After which Alice Angel (Alice Angel), enraged, charges at Henry with the intent to kill him herself, only to get impaled through the heart by Allison Angel.

Strategy

A great strategy is to avoid Brute Boris while he runs right at Henry. When he crashes into the wall, thick ink will spew out of his chest. Take it into the Ink Maker next to Henry and create a Gent pipe (or the plunger after obtaining the alternate item wheel for the Ink Maker), and hit him. When he jumps, Henry cannot do anything, so it's best to avoid the said move. This move helps Henry by giving him ink blots from Brute Boris. When he starts throwing carts at Henry, move in a different direction, and be quick and mannerly because the thrown cart will kill Henry in one hit. If Henry moves too close to him, he will push Henry away, damaging him in the process. Contrary to popular belief, using his ink blots to create a bone will not work on nor be effective against him. Repeat the process until he is killed.

Trivia

General Notes

• 

  Brute Boris' concept art.

  Brute Boris in his concept art originally has four nails impaling around his head by his halo-like dog-cone while retaining his eyes normal instead of X-shaped. It appears that Brute Boris would have also had several boils on his body, while he has none in his final appearance. One of his movements in his other artwork depicts his organs bursting along with a backbone-like tentacle, however, this idea never made it to the game's final cut.
• Brute Boris is similar to the Brute Splicer from BioShock 2; both are large hulking enemies, share similar names, attack by charging and punching, as well as bearing super physical strength, strong enough to lift and throw heavy objects.
• His appearance is roughly based on Frankenstein's monster in design, but with more unfinished features.
• Brute Boris' gloves each have symmetrical textures.
• Due to his stocky build and the shape of his overalls, Brute Boris vaguely resembles Mickey Mouse's arch-rival, Peg-Leg Pete.

In-Game Notes

Chapter 4: Colossal Wonders

• Encountering Brute Boris will unlock the "Reunited" achievement.
  • Killing him with the plunger unlocks the "Unlikely Victory" achievement.
• Prior to update patch 1.4.0.1, when Brute Boris threw carts at Henry, the throwing animation played, but a bug caused the carts to just break apart in place, making them trivially easy to avoid.
• There is also another bug causing Brute Boris to sometimes get stuck when walking over indestructible objects, such as a flashlight or toolbox. It is unknown if this bug was fixed in update patch 1.4.0.1.
• There is one more bug that occurs only if the player is playing on mobile. When Brute Boris enters his Cart throwing stage and if Henry dies to the cart being thrown by Boris, the respawn sequence plays but towards the light Henry will be stuck in the light and unable to respawn near the bendy statue. Even Worse, if the player choses to pause when this bug occurs, the screen gets stuck on the pause screen and pressing resume will not work. This bug will be stopped if the players continues a save file from Chapter 4. However if the player fails to save their game, they have to restart and play chapter 4 all over again.
• Brute Boris has an unused death animation that would play after he falls to the ground, where as the camera zooms in and he starts to turn into ink, he would give one last look at Henry before dying.
• If Henry gave Buddy Boris a bone at the beginning of Chapter 3: Rise and Fall and continues to the end of Chapter 4, Brute Boris will also have a bone in his mouth. This confirms that Brute Boris is actually Buddy Boris, rather than another clone.
• Ironically, fighting against Brute Boris with a Gent pipe shows a reference back from Chapter 3 where Buddy Boris gave Henry a Gent pipe.
• If Henry uses empty Bacon Soup cans properly to defeat Brute Boris, a horror vision will occur.
