You need to be invincible to survive it.  Ok, remember the last time you won 
that level?  You end up in a room that's all black with tons of guys in it, 
all attacking you at once from all sides.  And you invariably die after a 
few seconds, no matter how hard you try.  Well, when you stepped on that 
little pentagram on the platform at the top of the stairs, that's where you 
teleported.  The only way to get in there without teleporting in is to turn 
off clipping.  I guess the reason you die within a few seconds is that the 
room is evil or something, kind of like the blue circle areas in the later 
episodes.  I'm assuming that it's id's way of guaranteeing that anybody 
finishing the level is _dead_ so they can do the episode ending.

	Remember at the end of level 8 when you go up the stairs and get
teleported into a room with a lot of bad guys that kill you and then the
game ends?  That is the room you found using SPISPOPD.  The reason your
health goes down is so you will die and see the little message to buy the
complete game.  ID wants you to die so they can sell more games.  Try
using IDBEHOLD -V if you want to live for a little while.

This is the room you are teleported to when you step on the teleporter at
the top of the stairs you bring up by pushing the button at the bottom.
The room "assists" the monsters inside in killing you so that you die and
so that the game can continue (second episode floats above hell, episode
three _is_ hell). This is done so just in case you actually kill all the
monsters you'll still die. The monsters, too, go right through god mode,
and you continue to drop dead even if you SPISPOPD out of the room!

Keep typing IDDQD and you'll stay alive, but that's the only way and there's
nothing to gain by doing it. 

Like Freddy Kruger said, "C'mon... let go!" "I'll see you in hell..." "Tell
'em Freddy sentcha!"

The only way (according to the story anyway) to go to episode 2 is to die.

Cool, huh?
