The plot features a "unusually dressed woman named Ada" who charges the pair with traveling into the Gemstone Grotto—a key location from Attack on Titan—to rescue her companion from a secret group. The questline concentrates on "bizarre trials and a fearsome adversary" and is accessible to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character.

This important location was previously where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through eras.

Faithful to its name, "The Enigma" also contains a new environmental puzzle that may finally shed light on some lingering questions from the main storyline.

Moreover, Valhalla informally contained a quest that unmistakably referenced the popular series One-Punch Man.
