Welcome to the Nightmare Kingdom, boys... I don't think you'll like it here!

—Nightmare Princess before fighting her

Nightmare Princess is a princess in the series who first appears in the video game Adventure Time: The Secret of the Nameless Kingdom, later as the final boss of the game, and last appears in the episode "Orb". While she is called a princess, she does not appear to have a specified kingdom, being seen only wandering the ocean surrounding Ooo.

Appearance[]

In "Orb", Nightmare Princess first appears as a cloud with a single eye. Once she is fully constructed, this cloud is shown to be her head. She wears a red dress with a yellow crown-like pattern on the abdomen. Her limbs are green with her right hand being a mantis claw and two bat wings that protrude from either side of her head.

In Secret of the Nameless Kingdom, however, her appearance is drastically different: She has grayish skin and short, messy, purple colored hair; wears a black and teal dress that has a cobweb design on the skirt; and also wears a black crown with a teal gemstone embedded into it.

Boss Fight Phases[]

When the fight begins, she'll start by shooting purple projectiles at you. Try to avoid them while dealing damage to her. They deal 2 thumps of damage, and only 1 if you have the Like Like sweater. 

The next phase involves her as a black puddle with an eye in the middle. She'll go to any corner or the center of the area, then summon spikes that go up to the corners or the center. To stop this, use Jake's Slammy Hand while close to it (but not too close, as you'll take 2 thumps of damage) to make her go dizzy for a few seconds. While she's in that state, keep hitting her until she recovers. Rinse and repeat until she shoots four purple projectiles, which you avoid.

Next, she'll shield herself while shooting green fireballs. Use the Grabby Hand and the Baggies you have to catch them and throw them back. She'll go dizzy as you do this, so after you do this, keep hitting her until she recovers.  The invincible Trail Mix is helpful as it makes you immune to all kinds of damage for a few seconds, so using this is crucial in this phase. 

Then after the black puddle phase again, she'll go to the center of the area and shield herself again, this time with a blue and purplish shield. She'll then generate shockwaves that go up to the corners. They will do 2 thumps of damage. Try to go through the gaps in the waves or go to the corners until there's none left. She'll then shoot a barrage of green fireballs. You'll need three to break the shield. Use the Grabby Hand to do so, then throw them back at the shield.

She will go dizzy again, so hit her a couple more times until she recovers. She'll shoot the fireballs again, this time they'll go in a spinning-like motion, which you'll need to go past or throw them back to deal even more damage. Then she'll fire the shockwaves again, this time without the shield. Go through the gaps of them while hitting her a few more times, then she'll eventually be defeated. 

History[]

Nightmare Princess is one of the three candidate princesses to rule the Nameless Kingdom. However, she and her sisters - Lullaby Princess and Slumber Princess - mysteriously disappear, prompting Pillowmint Butler to send Finn and Jake to find them so that a ruler can be chosen. At the end of the game, after Finn defeats her, he chooses one of them to be the ruler of the kingdom. The game will truly end if Nightmare Princess is chosen. In general, she thanks the two, cutting to the credits. After that, in the Candy Kingdom, Princess Bubblegum talks to Finn and Jake, where she says that she's happy that they didn't choose Nightmare Princess, as it could be a threat to the Land of Ooo.

Trivia[]

  • It is unknown if the Nightmare Princess that appears in "Orb" and the Nightmare Princess that appears in Secret of the Nameless Kingdom are one and the same, as their appearances are very different.
    • However, it should be noted that the Nightmare Princess in the game was able to change her shape to a large form that somewhat resembled the one seen in the episode.
