Nick's Goal in the Vault
Mr. Death:
I'd have to agree, Nicodemus is not the sort of guy to go into a situation with only one plan to win if he had any choice in the matter.

A main plan, a back-up plan and an ace-in-the-hole plan, like Merlin. :)

Yup and he'd also know why the artifacts were so hard to get to, he always thinks he is the smartest and his spy is everywhere. However he underestimated both Mab, who blocked Anduriel at Mac's bar, and Harry, who realized that the relics were weapons and pocketed them for himself for later study.

Except for the gate of blood. Nicodemus did not even try something else first which tells us a lot.
Anduriel wanted him to kill his daughter, he blocked all alternative ideas like recruiting a necromancer or a spiritual being or trying a near death/out of body experience.
He did not even try. Anduriel had his soul completely and this sealed it.

Where was his backup plan for the fire master? He didn't appear to have one. I don't think anyone but Harry could have made it through the ice challenge because it was designed that way, and as we could see Hades was aware of everything going on. Nic's backup plan was that 2 people Harry wasn't aware of had Coins.
