==Tips and Tricks==
*Use blunt weapons like the Sledgehammer, Great Hammer, or the Golden Club against Poseidon as he doesn't have a resistance against blunt damage. Additionally, a Flame or Glacier Club can be used for extra damage.
*When battling, make sure you have at least full Iron Armor. Anything less than that Poseidon can 1 shot with his wave.
*Fusion Coils and/or Air Cubes are recommended to easily evade Poseidon's attacks, though this can be done even without coils with great skill.
*A strategy to solo Poseidon is to hold a fusion coil in your offhand, bring a regen coil, and 3 Impact Cubes. WARNING, WATCH OUT FOR WHEN HE GETS FLUNG. Poseidon may get flung by impact cubes, as he is small. Make sure your hp is always above 70, as if you get caught in a wave you will die below that amount.
*Another strategy for my fellow mobile players is to beat the living daylights out of him with a club. This definitely requires a bit of skill, but you can stay close enough to Poseidon that he can't use his trident on you. When he uses his wave (his animation is a great indicator of when he uses it) you can literally jump over Poseidon to dodge the hitbox. With this strategy you can hit Poseidon about 6 times every wave with a club. Do be careful with attempting a crit as Poseidon may try to throw a trident at you even if you are close. Parrying his attacks and losing durability is also a problem with this strategy if you aren't experienced with it, but this strategy is pretty cool to pull off consistently.
==Trivia==
*Before the name was changed, the community would call Guardian of the Sea "Poseidon".
*The name Guardian of the Sea is abbreviated to "GoTS".
*Some people consider him the hardest boss, but Cryo is arguably harder. This opinion was more common before Cryo's buff.
*It was possible for Poseidon to respawn/reappear if you defeated him in a private server prior to 0.2.18.
*Even though you cannot obtain Water damage sources before defeating him, Poseidon has full resistance against water (represented as xinf).
