There are other routes you can go in, but it's easy to forget this if you've never gone through them.

You can very much skip freeing the slaves or going to the coffers in other sections.
I actually did not know there were other things to explore until I did it with Duty support (to see how it worked before my group terrified sister joined). When I suddenly didn't have group pushing me in a set path I discovered there is a bunch of other stuff to see and if I remember correctly more loot to be had as well.
