The narrative features a "unusually attired woman named Ada" who assigns the characters with venturing into the Crystal Cave—a key location from Attack on Titan—to save her friend from a hidden sect. The mission centers on "peculiar experiments and a monstrous foe" and is accessible to all players who have gained access to the Yasuke character.

This playful mission teams Naoe and Yasuke as they exchange distinctive abilities: Naoe reveals a dramatic version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke learns subduing stealth takedowns. Loyal to its name, "The Enigma" also includes a new environmental puzzle that may ultimately clarify some unanswered questions from the main storyline.
