Giant Kosha Explained

Giant Kosha is entirely controlled by timers and counters:

Giant Kosha will throw a tantrum no faster than once every 800 frames (26.7s lagless). This is represented by a timer that ticks from 800 down to 0. However, there are some situations which can occur which will pause or reset this timer.

If the kong is within certain chunks (each map is split up into sections called "chunks". Segmentation of maps like this help with reducing lag amongst other things), then the giant kosha timer will freeze:
- Chunk 0 (Entrance Cavern & Gorilla Gone Room)
- Chunk 2 (Snide's Cavern)
- Chunk 3 (Hidden W4/Diddy Blueprint Cavern)
- Chunk 7 (Giant Boulder Cavern & the connecting tunnel)
In every other chunk, the timer will not freeze.

Entering a tag barrel pauses the timer. However, if you enter the tag barrel when the timer is less than 200, the timer will reset back to 800 (and pause at 800). The same applies for Rocketbarrel but not Mini Monkey/Hunky Chunky

As for when things start, the tantrum music (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o75LwF4hIj0) starts when the timer hits 100. If you haven't watched the cutscene of Giant Kosha throwing a tantrum, then when the timer hits 50, the cutscene will play. When the timer hits 0, rockfall will commence.

If you are inside the cutscene, a stalactite will spawn once every 4 frames until 40 stalactites have spawned. This lasts for around 75% of the Giant Kosha cutscene. After the cutscene, when the camera pans back to the kong, stalactites will fall around the kong once every 21 frames until 7 stalactites have spawned.

If rockfall has been initiated but when the cutscene has already been played prior to the timer hitting 50, then stalactites will spawn once every 21 frames until 9 stalactites have spawned.

Rockfall will prematurely end if the kong steps inside a freeze chunk.

After the stalactites have fallen, the 800 frame timer will restart.

If Giant Kosha is dead, then the timer will be permanently frozen.
