This enemy looks imposing, but can be dealt with quite easily. First thing you must do is get some distance between you and it, then turn the camera so you can see it. As it starts to charge, quickly run to a side and run past it to get some distance again. Keep doing this until you see its head start to glow and its pincers start to be raised.

When this happens, run up and slash its head several times, then roll back and wait. It will drive its stinger straight into the ground. As soon as it does this, roll back up and slash it a few more times, then roll back again.

Now it will either start charging at you again, begin another glowing stinger attack sequence, or dive underground. If it does either of the first two, use the strategy from above until it dives underground.

Once it goes underground it will leave a bunch of small scorpions behind. Dispose of these as quickly as possible, as the Arachnox will be back soon. When it reappears, just repeat the steps from above until you've killed it.

As with previous rounds, Slow Time used with Multi Strike works great for getting in a ton of hits quickly.
