I skip all of his attacks which reduces the RNG to zero. Unfortunately there's no audio and the game slows down with the TAS tools so this video doesn't have an accurate timing. Made with LibTAS software.
Note: Grabbing the item and exiting the room was very unoptimal because this video is more about showing off the actual fight.AM2R TAS - Arachnus fight with Instant Charge Beam Spam (failed)Naatiska2019-08-12 | Very sloppy execution.

github.com/clementgallet/libTASAM2R Any% - Optimal Wave Beam entry saves 1 secondNaatiska2018-07-26 | when's TASAM2R Any% tutorial - Beginner friendly 3-cycle 1st phase of the Queen fight (read the desc)Naatiska2018-07-14 | How to do:
First cycle: When the Queen becomes vulnerable (when the flashing stops), wait 1 second and then shoot 9 supers. Avoid damage and farm supers.
Second cycle: Shoot 3 supers. Avoid damage and farm supers
Third cycle: If you have 9 or more supers during the last cycle, you can immediately finish the cycle with a super and proceed to the next phase. If you have 8 or less supers you could finish the cycle with normal missiles but farming supers is also advised. You want to have enough ammo for the fourth phase.
HP: Queen's health is scaled by the amount of missile packs you have collected. In any% setting you collect 4 packs (= 50 missiles) which means that the Queen takes 13 supers in the first cycle, or 12 supers and 4 missiles.
Attack count: 2 attacks in the first cycle (instead of 3, saves ~1.5 seconds) 4 attacks in the second cycle (instead of 5, doesn't save or lose time but it's easier to dodge her attacks because she moves slower)AM2R Low% - Jet zip glitches up until Ice beamNaatiska2018-05-09 | They won't crash the game if done in the order shown in this video.
