The plot introduces a "strangely attired woman named Ada" who charges the pair with traveling into the Crystalline Cavern—a significant location from Attack on Titan—to rescue her friend from a hidden cult. The adventure focuses on "bizarre trials and a terrifying enemy" and is accessible to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character.
