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.
