The plot introduces a "strangely garbed woman named Ada" who tasks the characters with venturing into the Crystalline Cavern—a key location from Attack on Titan—to rescue her ally from a hidden group. The mission concentrates on "peculiar experiments and a monstrous enemy" and is accessible to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character.

This important location was formerly where the Reiss royal family transmitted the Founding Titan ability through generations.

This playful quest partners Naoe and Yasuke as they swap distinctive abilities: Naoe introduces a performative interpretation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke masters non-lethal stealth takedowns. Loyal to its name, "A Puzzlement" also contains a fresh environmental puzzle that may eventually explain some unresolved questions from the main storyline.
