Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Entropic lines: Any set of three sequential cells along an entropic line must contain a low (1,2,3), middle (4,5,6), and high (7,8,9) digit. Digits may repeat on a line if allowed by other rules.
- Region sum lines: On each region sum line, the sum of the digits in each box through which it passes is a fixed value N, which may vary from line to line.
- Killer cages: Digits in cages cannot repeat and must sum to the number shown in the upper left corner of the cage.
- All lines are both entropic lines and region sum lines.

I'd agree the difficulty is around 2 stars. I also don't think I've used the top-left-most 15 cage

Is it my hallucination ？I think the difficulty is only 2 stars for me，I solve this smoothly
>>dumediat: I am glad it was a smooth solve for you! I adjusted the provisional rating to 2*.
