The Bruch becomes relatively easy to deal with once you understand its patterns. First, it will dash around the field, swiping at you with melee attacks. Just dash away and try not to get hit. It also has a ranged attack where it will summon three spears above its head and fire them off one by one. You can dodge-roll to avoid these spears as they fly at you.

When you start the fight, attack the Bruch by Supercharging and unleashing any high-damage attacks you can, taking out a quarter of its health. It will cause it to disappear, and two clone Cruch will appear from the ground. Ignore them and go straight for the real Bruch, sitting on the ledge between the two train cars. This will make it start charging its attack, thus exposing its weak points, which you must shoot until the Bruch returns to the battlefield. Then, you can deal with the clones with a shotgun blast and some revolver shots.

The cycle will repeat through the battle, but if you keep attacking the Bruch’s weak points, it will never get a chance to deal you any real damage. Once a third of its health is gone, it will summon Boo-hags and pretues into the field. Zapper all of them to refill your health and Energy, and watch when the Bruch starts charging an attack. Once you clear out the smaller enemies, the Bruch will return to the field. Supercharge it again and whittle down its health to trigger the final phase of the battle.

During the final phase, the Bruch will mix in a new attack, creating a wall of leeches around itself as it continues with its regular attacks. You can shoot the Bruch in the head or counter the wall with the Crippling Rod and zap it to get through the shield. If your rod is on cooldown, just wait the attack out by moving and dodging, as it’s not too dangerous or damaging.

Once you’ve burnt through its final bit of health, you can approach the Bruch and execute it to end the battle and trigger the end-of-level cutscene.
