Quick Advice
To ensure we don’t engage in side missions, simply press L2 once you’re on the timeline, and it will lower the difficulty, thus preventing any secondary missions. Obviously, do this only if you plan to follow my advice. If you choose not to, the result will be practically the same, but it may take you a bit longer to complete everything
