I know that this is a big discussion amongst the crazies on the CoH boards, but do we have any idea how often this (and other Giant Monsters) spawn? --Phaeton

Random, completely and totally random. So much so that there have been times when 2 sites have been under construction at the same time. When test has been up for several days straight, you can go into Kings Row and find 3 fully built paladins running around. All giant monsters in CoH appear at random. Sally appears every 45 minutes or so, but she's only a monster. --StarGeek 09:53, 30 May 2006 (PDT)
D'oh. And here I was hoping to farm him. ;) Any thoughts on an addendum to this article or a seperate article about Giant Monsters (in general) and their random spawns? Or am I barking up the wrong tree? --Phaeton
No, it's a pretty good idea, but just something no one has gotten around to doing anything about. Myself, I'm better at collecting data than writing articles. Also, check out Talk:Caleb for some talk about the CoV side of things, where GMs appear to be handled differently. --StarGeek 10:23, 30 May 2006 (PDT)

>.> well... barring glitches, and scheduled alterations.. Sally is about every half hour, paladin construction is every 12 hrs (ie, once every 24). G Ms used to spawn alot more friequently till the whole winter Lord fiasco -.- now the only one you have any chance of seeing on a regular basis is Lusca. For most G Ms, its 12 hours, there IS a modifier though to keep them from spawning at the same time as each other (when Lusca was added, she used to spawn at the same time as the construction, so we'd bash back and forth between them, trying to get both badges before another team killed them, but then, they're the only G Ms where the do 30% of damage rule doesn't apply). o.o the modifier itself is the unknown, it seems likely that its just a randomized amount of minutes from something like 20-300 to space them out a bit more. --Sleepy Kitty 10:37, 30 May 2006 (PDT)

Sally spawns exactly 45 minutes after her last defeat. I set timers on this when I was working that badge on several characters a while back.
So how is it that Sally spawns with such precision but everything else is random? Silly game designers ;) --Phaeton
