In Poseidon's Chamber , Kratos finds a note Poseidon left where it is indicated he became interested in Pandora 's power over Olympus and suspicious of Zeus' intentions, expressing fear his brother has changed for the worst.
The note reads: A mere girl, somehow she is the key to the labyrinth. I brought this statue here, but so far have learned nothing. That mortal Daedalus , in his madness, has devised a way to shield secrets from even my far-reaching view. This does not bode well. I fear Zeus is no longer the brother I once knew - Poseidon. Another note indicates Poseidon's wrath and frustration towards Zeus, citing his brother's refusal to provide Olympus safe harbor from the storms that are brewing.

After being infected probably with "Anger", he notably became much more angrier and weary as he gave multiple death threats to Kratos who he aided in stopping the Hydra King prior to being infected when the latter destroyed his city, warned him about challenging the Gods when confronting him and reasonably but angrily tried talking him out of destroying Olympus as it would mean the death of the entire world.
Despite this, Poseidon notably showed greater resilience to the evils unlike his brethren, evidenced by his note indicating how he apologized to his Princess for making her the subject of his rage though he did not free her and disapproved of Zeus' cruelty towards Pandora as a result of "Fear" and expressed his fear that his brother changed for the worst. Poseidon was one of the most powerful of the Olympian gods, second only to Zeus, and surpassing Hades.
