Actually when I heard about Nikolai being mentioned by Al I thought that it could also possibly be Richtofen. In the past we know Richtofen is quite fond of Nikolai and he does have the habit of being in people's minds (Stuhlinger). I guess the only hole in this theory is why he would say Nikolai name to Al.

So I was looking throughout forums and the COD Wiki but I can't seem to find the answers to any of these questions so I finally decided to create a post about this. 1. Does Richtofen have the Focusing Stone in his inventory if Shangri La and CoTD is done? (and by that I mean the actual item not the Golden Rod Fused) 2. Is the Golden Rod Given if only CoTD is done or does is it only given when both Shangri La and CoTD are done? 3. When you spawn as Richtofen, is the Golden Road sort of glowing red in the middle. I have heard that is the indication that both Shangri La and CoTD is done? 4. In the EE step where you must put the Golden Rod inside the two hex plates, when the Rod cannot be placed inside, Does this mean that Shangri La has not been completed? The reason I ask this is that I recently have completed CoTD in Co-Op Online but I had done Shangri La using 2 PS3's Split-screening and Using LAN. When I attempted Moon I read in the wiki that it must be done Online so I did Online Split-screen with both PS3's and we were stuck in part where the Golden Rod's must be placed. If anyone does answer these I would like a confirmed answer, throughout the forum posts I looked all I saw were "maybe", "most likely" and "probably".If any of those can be answered I will change the post for others to better understand and if I can figure it out I will give out brains.
