The break-in for this was amazing!

Thank you for the feedback all, this was a fun one to set, glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks @slowbiex for the pointer for @Volkner, the quintuplets are key and the focus on the corners.

@Volkner: without giving too much away: once you have the first number, work your way through the 4 corner boxes, note possibilities/candidates and you will find quintuplets, from there on the solution is still tough but logical.

I could not find the break in at all. The first digit, sure, but nothing after that. I did managed to solve it by means of bifurcation, which was a challenge in itself, but it would be nice to see the actual logic behind the break in. A video or something would be great.
