Rules:
Sudoku: Normal sudoku rules apply. The digits 1-9 appear once in each row, column, and 3x3 box.
Knight’s Move: Two cells a chess knight’s move apart may not contain the same digit.
XV: Digits separated by an X sum to ten. Digits separated by a V sum to five.
Kropki: White dots separate consecutive digits. Black dots separate digits in a 2:1 ratio.
Arrows: Digits along an arrow sum to the digit in that arrow’s circle. Different arrows cannot overlap or share cells.
Fog: The grid is partially covered in fog. Placing correct digits clear the fog from the (up to) 8 cells surrounding that digit. Guessing is not required and discouraged.
To Play:

Solution code: row nine, left to right, no spaces

Nice. Break in was more like one star but got significantly more difficult. You aren’t the Bearded Fool that used to post on TMF by any chance are you?

Very nice puzzle. I was a little surprised that it was rated a 3*, but I suppose the ending was a bit trickier than the start. Regardless, this was a blast to solve and an amazing piece of setting!
