The plot introduces a "strangely attired woman named Ada" who assigns the characters with traveling into the Gemstone Grotto—a important location from Attack on Titan—to save her companion from a hidden sect. The adventure concentrates on "peculiar tests and a monstrous foe" and is accessible to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character.
