Standard Star Killer Sudoku rules apply (see below).
Draw a single path connecting the two given big circles. The path travels orthogonally through the grid and must not touch itself (even diagonally).

Additional constraints on stars:
The value in each star is equal to the number of cells that lie on the path within the 3x3 area surrounding the star.
Neither star nor cage lies on the path.

Additional constraints on digits:

• Thermo: Digits along a grey thermometer must strictly increase from the bulb.
• Kropki-Pairs: Digits separated by a white dot must be consecutive and for every cell with a black dot, exactly one of the four neighboring cells is in 1:2 ratio to this cell.

Star Killer Rules:
Place exactly two stars into each row, column and box. Stars may not share an edge (no diagonal constraint!). The number in the top-left corner of a cage (if given) gives you the number of stars, that are outside of the cage and share an edge with that cage.
Digits in a cage do not repeat and sum to the total X. The number in the top-left corner of a cage must be equal to the digit sum of X.
