The plot features a "strangely dressed woman named Ada" who charges the duo with venturing into the Crystal Cave—a significant location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her companion from a secret cult. The questline concentrates on "bizarre experiments and a terrifying foe" and is available to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character.
