You pick it up in the lighthouse at the end of the CotD easter egg and give it to Richtofen, who should subsequently have it in Shangri-la. Thanks for the response but I'd done all the CotD trophies before Moon even came out - which includes the co-op CotD Easter Egg in full. Perhaps I did it LAN and not online and that's the issue. I can't be bothered to do Shangri-La all over again just to be able to do the full Moon Easter Egg, especially when there isn't even a trophy for it on PS3. Cheers

Yeah, although I don't want to be reliant on someone else having the items - after all the effort with the previous EEs, I want to have the items myself. It might sound silly, but that's just me! :)

Not confirmed but read my thread: viewtopic.php?f=72&t=17721 I pretty much eliminated any other possibility, other than it being a glitch, but as I said it's probably we did it LAN, or because I quit the game (as I wanted to Sync my trophy asap as it was such a ball ache to get)!

It's one of 2 things - either it doesn't count that you did the trophy LAN (which is BS as it's still as difficult and the PSN can be unreliable). Secondly, you or someone might have quit the game instead of letting the game end naturally when everyone dies. Apparently Richtofen says he'll take the egg/focusing stone when the game ends. I suspect it has something to do with LAN, as I hear on XBox that the trophies have to be done online. What a joke!! This also (probably) means that when playing Moon the game checks your Save Data and not your Trophies. I guess I'll have to do the Shangri-La EE again at some point.

Thanks for taking the time to read my epic post! Please see this video, it shows the Focusing Stone in the inventory: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3FZTXVkugk With all the senarios I've tried I made sure I was host. I guess LAN doesn't count which is a joke seeing as you still get the co-op trophies. I may still be able to rule out repeating CotD if I have the Rod when playing Shangri-La online with 3 other players who don't have the trophies. Alternatively I may have to repeat Shangri-La and stay until the end - as Richtofen says he'll take the Focusing Stone from whoever has it. This means the game checks your Save Data and not your trophies.

I started to investigate whether the game recognises that I've completed the CotD Easter Egg.....when starting Shangri-La solo last night Richtofen had the Golden Rod. When I started Shangri-La with my wife's PSN profile Richtofen did not have the Golden Rod (as she has not got any Black Ops trophies). So I thought his was good news!! However when I played co-op over PSN on my 2 PS3s (both split screen), none of the 4 players had the Golden Rod, even when I was Richtofen and the host, despite having done the previous Easter Eggs. Unfortunately this leaves more queries: 1. Is the Golden Rod not given in split-screen? 2. Is the Golden Rod not given in online split-screen? 3. Does Black Ops only recognise my CotD solo Easter Egg, which is why it gives me the Golden Rod in solo and not co-op? With regards to question 2 it might be that Black Ops will recognise my completing the CotD co-op Easter Egg and issue me with the Golden Rod in Shangri-La online co-op, (but doesn’t in split-screen), however I could only try split-screen online as I only have 2 PS3s and 2 copies of Black Ops, not 4 PS3s and 4 copies of Black Ops! I guess the question I want to know is, will Black Ops give me the Golden Rod in Shangri-La if I play with 4 players online NOT split-screen? This is the only scenario I could not test due to lack of hardware!! I’m trying to rule out having to do CotD again (online co-op) although it is not nearly as awkward as Shangri-La.

So, I want to complete the full Moon Easter Egg on PS3. I have both the CotD (co-op) and Shangri-La Easter Egg trophies yet no items appear in Richtofen's inventory when starting Moon! As I understand, if you have only done Shangri-La you will have the Focusing Stone in his inventory on Moon; if you've done both you'll have the Golden Rod (which has been fused with the Focusing Stone) on Moon; and if you've done neither or just CotD then you'll have nothing when start Moon! If the previous statements are correct I have some questions: 1. Does anyone know if this is a glitch? 2. Does the game search your trophies or save game data to establish if you've completed the previous Easter Eggs? I may have quit game after getting the trophy so it may not have saved my game, despite having the trophy. It may be that the game needs to end naturally so that the scoreboard is shown. 3. Does it matter if I did the previous 2 Easter Eggs LAN instead of online? Please note that they were not done split-screen though. It looks like I might have to do Shangri-La again.

This is a huge ball ache as I’ve completed both Easter Eggs and do not want to have to rely on someone else to have done these to fully complete Richtofen’s Grand Scheme on Moon! Shangri-La was awkward and by rights I should start with the correct item on Moon. Any help would be appreciated – although not theories please, only facts. 

@ demonkidd1255 I have EXACTLY the same problem and no one seems to respond or help. I have the Call of the Dead and Shangri-La easter egg trophies, yet when I start on Moon I do not have any items such as the Golden Rod/Focusing Stone in Richtofen's inventory. I've even made sure that I am Richtofen and the host, as I have the trophies, yet still no items. Did you find a solutions to this?
