Like all the other Olympus ubers, he periodically uses an [[Tweaks|Olympus Blocker]] which greatly increases his resists for several seconds, and is guarded by his loyal denizens of the ocean; [[Makos]], [[Jellyfish]], [[Stingrays]] and [[Swordfish]]. To the north of the warp there is also a [[Poseidon's Vortex]] which will occasionally spawn one or two of either of the 4 AI.

Is 100% immune to all but heat, and goes through stages of vulnerability. It should also be noted that the lower his shields, the stronger he becomes.

==Stages==
  
−
Stage 1: Poseidon lays Whirls around your squad, hitting one of these causes everyone to spin wildly for several seconds.

===Stage 1===

100%: Poseidon lays Poseidon Whorls behind him, flying over one of these causes the pilot to spin wildly for several seconds. The whorls possess very few shields and decay after a few seconds. After reaching 90% he will summon a school of Makos to hinder your efforts.

Stage 2: Poseidon lays Trident Drones which deal low DPS and heal Poseidon, these are his only DPS in stage 2. Poseidon will run away from you, and will only stay within his drones range of your squad. A swarm will occur during this stage.

===Stage 2===
 +
80%: Poseidon lays Trident Drones which deal low DPS, heal Poseidon and fire a weapon that cuts your speed by half, he will also call forth a swarm of Jellyfish to try and sting you to death. Once he reaches 40% shields he will bring out a fleet of Stingrays. These are his only DPS until he reaches 35% shields during which he'll begin to attack you with a powerful chain laser in preparation for the deadly finale.

Stage 3: Poseidon uses a special tsunami attack, it deals heavy damage and pushes everyone back. This also lowers your max shield bank for a few seconds. More AI will spawn and on top of this the lower his health falls the larger his negative shield bank tweak becomes, achieving a max of 90% within the last few seconds of battle, making it extremely easy to kill Poseidon yet have everyone in the squad get killed by his tsunami right before he dies.

===Stage 3===
 +
30%: Poseidon uses a special tsunami attack, it deals heavy damage and pushes everyone back. This also lowers your current shield bank by half for several seconds. He will begin to spawn more AI and on top of this when he reaches 10% shields he will spawn over a dozen Swordfish, making it extremely easy to kill Poseidon yet have everyone in the squad get killed by his tsunami or guards right before he dies.

Pretender Poseidon is an uber AI resting in Poseidon's Pool, players must fight their way through two galactic whirlpools and slay his otherworldly servant the Kraken before facing off against him.

Like all the other Olympus ubers, he periodically uses an Olympus Blocker which greatly increases his resists for several seconds, and is guarded by his loyal denizens of the ocean; Makos, Jellyfish, Stingrays and Swordfish. To the north of the warp there is also a Poseidon's Vortex which will occasionally spawn one or two of either of the 4 AI.
