The unexpected holiday event continues from November 25 through December 22, offering free bonus story content for Shadows players. Peculiar Adventure Disclosed According to the official statement, "A strange meeting draws heroes Naoe and Yasuke into a original adventure, where rumors of banned practices and monstrous changes reverberate through the shadows." The narrative introduces a "oddly dressed woman named Ada" who tasks the characters with traveling into the Crystalline Cavern—a important location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her ally from a clandestine group. The questline centers on "peculiar trials and a monstrous adversary" and is open to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character.

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

This lighthearted adventure partners Naoe and Yasuke as they exchange distinctive abilities: Naoe debuts a performative interpretation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires subduing stealth takedowns. True to its name, "The Mystery" also features a fresh environmental puzzle that may ultimately explain some unresolved questions from the main storyline.
