Spider Mastermind: Causes severe damage, like a rapid firing shotgun guy's shotgun but there is often help from other monsters (Cyberdemon in MAP20, another Spider in MAP28), or a Crushing Ceiling (map06). The Spider in E3M8 of Doom is no doubt the most challenging, but you are also given help from two Cacos and a Baron. Best thing to do is strafe-shoot then hide and repeat.
Are you on meth? The only way E3M8 is remotely challenging is if you pistol start it. And even then it's a joke. If you played through E3 and you get there, you should be able to beat the spider with your eyes closed and cock in hand. Ever hear of a BFG?
I played Doom when I was a kid on my SNES, then when I got older I bought Ultimate Doom and played through the whole thing. I was a novice player at this point but when I got to the end of E3 I was like huh? I thought I did something wrong.
Now hear this, since so many of you SUCK: I will reveal once and for all the apparently secret strategy of dealing with the big bad spider in E3M8... run right up to the fucker as soon as you come outta the entryroom and blast him with el BFG. He MIGHT attack you before you kill him, but it's the end of the fucking episode. You don't need your health. Unless you jump down there to fight him with 30 or less health, you win, end of story. Even when you encounter other spiders in pwads most of the time this strategy is fine, you might lose 30 or 40 health. Man up.
And that thread about what the mancubus says when he fires at you is the funniest shit I've ever seen.
On the subject of dealing with the bone bag:

3. If your in a open area and Revies can chase you, umn... Think for a second, "Whats a good way to kill them off or run away with out getting harmed in process"?. If you can't think, then here- To single them out, go through some sort of passage that has no monsters at end then a corner where they have to turn, chainsaw, by the time they get to the corner, they wouldn't do much, then if they end up going back down, mow em with the chaingun or plasma rifle. Then if you want to get out of their way, higher ground, "some how" jump off that ground while they are up, mow em or just run off.
You can sum all that up into "If you're in an open area, don't be a moron." If you stand in one place and have never heard of strafing or have big fatass fingers since all you do is play video games and eat potato chips and lack the dexterity to fire and move at the same time, these guys will FUCK YOU UP out in the open. However if you can move and fire you have no problem. Doomguy is faster than Marion Jones, with or without steroids, and you can outrun and dodge the unmortal fuck outta all rockets the bone fucker fires at you. We got a learning disability here?
