Poseidon Gear Drop Guide (Tartarus) | Wizard101

Poseidon first shows up in Atlantea, but reappears for the final showdown in Tartarus at level 90. While his gear sets don't get much attention, they are really some nice offensive pieces, and boots are a solid choice in general. In fact, there's a good argument to be made that they're as good as or better than Hades' boots. Let's take a look!

Poseidon Earth-Shaker

Poseidon Earth-Shaker is fought alongside Zeus and Hades in the final battle of Tartarus. Poseidon is a Rank 13 Storm boss, but he also uses several Ice spells (notably, Tower Shield). He has 25,000 health and high Storm resistance. Do not be fooled by the way the Wiki sorts gear: Hades does not drop Poseidon gear. This means that Hades' chest will not award Poseidon gear. The only way to get this gear is from battling Poseidon in Tartarus.

Gear Appearance

Of the three Tartarus gear sets, Poseidon's is perhaps the most odd. The hat and robe aren't too bad, and the wand is really very cool. But those boots. Hey, maybe you like that look. Who am I to judge?

Why They Matter

For awhile now, particularly a month or two ago, I've been focusing on significant gear throughout the game, including its popularity, impact, and how it fits into setups compared to other gear. The series has been on a bit of a hiatus as I've been working on obtaining missing gear pieces, but I'm nearing completion and there'll be a few more of these popping up, likely in June.

I think Poseidon's set certainly qualifies. While it doesn't get the attention of Hades, you still see people wearing different pieces of this gear (I see a fair number of robes for some reason) and one or two of the pieces really do rival Hades' gear. It's fairly rare, as I mentioned above, because it doesn't come from the second-chance chest, only from the final battle of Tartarus, which requires at least three boss battles to even get to.

I'm a little surprised that I don't see more Poseidon wands around. Not only are they pretty unique, but they are also a little bit more well-balanced than Hades wands, with both critical and block (in addition to piercing) on all wands except Storm and Fire.
