Strategy sort of works, it's definitely RNG dependent. One thing I would point out is not using the script because it will leave the fight after the first hit from the Ancient Catacomb Spider. I tried it 10 times with a P/B mechanical axebeak and the script forfeited the fight each time since the spider crit every single time.
Otherwise, the strat did work by using it manually but it was very, very close.
May RNG be on your side for this one...

Just remove all the `quit` lines from the script, and use a strong pet in the last position instead of a levelling pet to finish the fight off.

wow that was brutal, lol only have Mech axebeak S/B. not even close. I tried some different strats from youtube, but they all failed for me.

ended up with darkmoon zep 1,1,2 and emerald proto-whelp 2,1,2. for the snake at the end i kept bringing in my level pet to eat the blinding poison.

zep
turn 1 bombing run
turn 2 missile
turn 3 decoy
turn4+ missile until dead (sometimes spider hits like a truck so crits bad ;)

bring in whelp for bat
turn 1 emerald bite
turn 2 ancient blessing
turn 3-6 emerald dream
turn 7+ emerald bite until bat dead
use dream and blessing as needed/available.

bring in level pet to eat the blinding poison. ( does no other damage)
bring zep back in-use decoy.
will likely die before it goes off but you can get off a bombing run and missile before second death.

bring back whelp, heal up and continue with Bite.

watch for blinding poison CD. if it will come while you are using blessing and emerald dream, it doesn't matter. if going to use bite you can swap out to level pet again to eat it.

I tried using chrominus, teroclaw, and others for bat but everything i tried using, didnt last too long.

sorry this isn't at all concise, but this is my 1st real time trying to figure something out the "hard way".

I can handle the RNG on Turn 1/2, but tried multiple times and Ancient Catacomb Spider always seemed to do Burrow on Turns 4 and/or 5-so pretty much guaranteed a miss there. Seems more than just RNG here. What am I missing?
Note: I am using a P/P Axebeak but that doesn't seem to account for the likelihood of a Burrow.
