Whichever wins will almost certainly perish from a well-placed BFG blast, or can be quickly dispatched with rockets or the plasma rifle.
Regardless of which one is left standing, the surviving monster will be left in very little shape to face the player. Since the Cyberdemon's rockets are far easier to dodge than the Spider Mastermind's hitscan bullets, this helps weaken the Cyberdemon quicker by using him as a living shield. The easiest and safest way to get them to infight is by luring the Spider Mastermind into attacking the Cyberdemon first.Unless a third party intervenes, the Cyberdemon usually wins. Near the beginning of MAP20 in Doom II, the player is given the opportunity to lure a Spider Mastermind and a Cyberdemon into battling each other via monster infighting.The Spiderdemon, Arachnotron, and Cyberdemon are the only monsters that constantly make sound when they walk.Its mouth, complete with pointed teeth still intact, is visible on its otherwise ruined corpse. As it collapses, frame-by-frame analysis shows that a piece of metal from its cybernetic portion pierces its forehead from within.
The Spiderdemon, along with the Demon, Mancubus, and Cyberdemon are the only monsters whose dying sound clips includes noise other than the monsters' vocals.

Upon death the Spiderdemon collapses into a heap, with an accompanying series of explosions. However, in Doom II the Cyberdemon is the last monster fought in MAP29 before the actual final boss fight in MAP30, in addition to the Spider Mastermind appearing before the Cyberdemon in the endgame cast sequence. The Spiderdemon is the last boss in Doom as well as in the game's extra episode, Thy Flesh Consumed, and is credited with controlling the invasion of the Phobos and Deimos bases. While the Spiderdemon is considered more threatening and story-critical in the original Doom, in Doom II the Cyberdemon is given "higher billing" as the greater monster. However, in favor of the Spiderdemon, its very wide hitscan make their attacks harder to avoid, while the Cyberdemon's rockets can easily be avoided by circle-strafing. Since they have different types of weapons, there is no objective way to tell which one is more powerful, as both monsters can sometimes take down one another as seen in one level. Despite being the final boss, several attributes of the Spiderdemon are inferior to the Cyberdemon, such as hit points, speed and pain chance. However, in Doom II cast sequence it has the more official name "The Spider Mastermind". In the original Doom game, this monster is called just "Spiderdemon". Olivia Pierce is transformed into a Spider Mastermind in DOOM. The PlayStation and Saturn versions of Doom in turn feature two Spiderdemons as the bosses of its final level, Redemption Denied on harder skill levels. It is the final boss of the first Doom, and appears again in the final episode of The Ultimate Doom, Thy Flesh Consumed. The Spiderdemon is named as "Spider Mastermind" in The Ultimate Doom, Doom II, Final Doom and the Depths of Doom Trilogy's manual, as well as Doom II RPG. Whether Olivia still existed within the Spider Mastermind after it formed is unclear. The creature is shown to manifest after Olivia Pierce is pulled down into the ground: this appears to be the process of merging described in the Codex entry, which is necessary for the creature to fully manifest itself. It is implied to be the same Spider Mastermind fought in E3M8: Dis in the original Doom. It is massively larger than before, with a bulkier body and a plethora of new attacks rather than just its original super-chaingun. The Spider Mastermind serves as the final boss of the game, and is implied to be the commander of Hell's forces during the game's events. The Spiderdemon is the second form of the Arachnotron class, and also a boss. The designers considered reintroducing the Spider Mastermind for this sequel, but cut the enemy for unconfirmed reasons. She doesn't have a plasma gun, so thank heaven for small favors. #Doom 3 end manual
The Doom II manual presents the Spider Mastermind as the mother of the Arachnotrons: " You guess the Arachnotrons had to come from somewhere. Watch for it at the end of the third episode of DOOM, and numerous times in DOOM II." The Official Doom FAQ (included in Doom 1.4) describes the creature as a 'huge robotic chaingun shooting spider," adding "it will make you wish you never were playing DOOM in the first place. Perhaps as a result of this, the manual for the Depths of Doom Trilogy erroneously states that it appears in Doom II only. The Spiderdemon is not mentioned in the Doom manual, presumably to avoid a spoiler.
