Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Help the hero on his quest to conquer all dungeons and defeat the final boss!
Draw an orthogonal path that doesn't fork. It starts at the green circle and ends at the boss with the digit 9. If a part of the path is not in a dungeon that part is not allowed to touch another part of itself orthogonally that's also outside of a dungeon.
Dungeons: Cages are dungeons. The hero must traverse the dungeon completely before exiting. The last cell the hero touches is the boss. The boss is the highest digit in the dungeon. Each boss is a unique digit.
Odd/Even: Cells containing a gray square are even, cells containing a gray circle are odd. The hero can't cross over those cells and the digit inside shows the number of adjacent (orthogonal/diagonal) cells that are outside a dungeon on the heroes path.
X-Sum: Cells joined by an X sum to 10. All possible Xs are given.

very fun puzzle. I had many stops and starts but cleaned up my logic and finally powered through. Very cool!
