The storyline introduces a "strangely attired woman named Ada" who tasks the pair with venturing into the Gemstone Grotto—a key location from Attack on Titan—to save her ally from a hidden group. The adventure concentrates on "bizarre tests and a fearsome foe" and is open to all players who have gained access to the Yasuke character.
