I had a wonderful time collaborating with the_cogito on this Vault puzzle!
We hope you enjoy playing!
- Normal Sudoku rules apply.
- Digits in pink Vault cages may repeat, and sum to the indicated corner clue. Digits orthogonally adjacent to a Vault may not be included within that Vault.

Beautiful construction ! This is the kind of puzzle where you understand retrospectivily that you should have spent more time staring at the grid to understand how the cages work, instead of fiĺling digits and start coloring right away, which made it harder to grasp the great power of that big cage on the whole grid.

Great puzzle! Really liked the interaction between vaults and vault edges. The big vault made for some nice deductions all over the grid :)

What a fun puzzle! I feel like I learned a lot about this ruleset from doing this.

Great use of vault logic - loved the colouring and how that played out.

Very cool use of vault cages and repeating killers! Love how cleanly digits get forced here and there about the puzzle.

Loved it. Figuring out the giant cage with coloring and going from there was a really fun solve!

Really hard for me. Broke several times. The coloring and pencil marks is killing me.
