Hey, guys, casual runner here. New to speed running and this is the first game I've ran. Haven't posted anything official because I would rather practice first. Anyways, I have a question about the Arachnus fight. So the goal is to prompt him to begin his rolling attack so you can bomb him up to the electricity above. I've noticed that all runs that I've seen don't bomb Arachnus when he floats up and uses his homing attack and hits the ground. He flashes yellow as he would being shot by missiles. Does this not damage him in any way? Or does it not keep him on the ground longer?

I experimented with this and what I found is those bombs do damage him, but barely at all, and so I don't find it worth it.
