Treat each optional exploration choice as a reward-versus-threat decision. PLAION's official overview says that exploring more of a tomb brings greater rewards but greater threat, and that decisions shape later missions. Before taking an optional branch, name the reward you expect and the threat exposure you accept; continue only when the displayed mission state supports that choice. There is no universal safe number of rooms or threat percentage in the cited source, so do not plan from an invented formula.
