Just stand at the top of the hole shooting downwards. You can attract
its attention early on by dropping a mine or a grenade or something
down. Blast away with BFG then rail etc. Spend as little time as poss.
in the firing range. Fire BFG, wait, then run up to hole when it lets
off. Then run back. Repeat. You can't carry enough BFG ammo to kill
it with that anyway, so you'll need lots of other ammo.
If you use any powerup the widow (either small or larger one) gets it
too - If you have quad or invuln., then so does the widow. Invuln is
pointless unless you want it to go into the pit to get more ammo &
supplies shortly before you've killed it (you have to find the one inv.
in the whole game on one of the early levels then carry it through
the whole game if you want to try it at the end. And when you do there's
no point anyway 8)
All the little spiders can't get up the hole and a few rockets or a
BFG blast will clean them up. They all die when you kill the big
thing too. Not as good as ID's bosses, IMHO.
Good luck, noise
PS pity it's really so easy, once you've done it a couple of times.
