The plot introduces a "oddly garbed woman named Ada" who tasks the characters with venturing into the Crystal Cave—a key location from Attack on Titan—to save her ally from a clandestine group. The adventure focuses on "peculiar tests and a fearsome adversary" and is open to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character.
