The unusual holiday event operates from November 25 through December 22, offering free extra story content for Shadows players. Mysterious Adventure Uncovered According to the authorized release, "A mysterious encounter draws characters Naoe and Yasuke into a fresh quest, where whispers of forbidden practices and monstrous metamorphoses resonate through the darkness." The storyline presents a "oddly dressed woman named Ada" who charges the duo with journeying into the Gemstone Grotto—a important location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her friend from a clandestine cult. The mission focuses on "bizarre tests and a fearsome adversary" and is available to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character.

This important location was earlier where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through ages. The trailer ends with a striking scene showing a character, probably the captive, transforming into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke. Exclusive Prizes and Bonus Content Players who successfully complete the quest will acquire an unique katana in addition to numerous objects secreted throughout the area in hidden chests.

Additionally, Valhalla subtly contained a quest that obviously referenced the famous series One-Punch Man.
