I believe this may be my most difficult to date. I finally achieved a break-in that isn't completely telegraphed, but is still certainly findable. You'll find this puzzle to be a 2-parter I think, and I hope all of you enjoy it.

Normal Sudoku Rules Apply

All 4s and all 8s in the puzzle must adhere to the antiknight rule, i.e. no 4 can be a knight's move (in chess) away from any other 4. Likewise, no 8 can be a knight's move away from any other 8. All other digits do not face this restriction.

Green lines are German Whispers lines. Adjacent digits along a German Whispers line must differ in value by at least 5.

Gray lines are palindromes, and must be read the same forwards and backwards.

Digits along the marked diagonal cannot repeat.

Cells joined by white dots are consecutive in value. Not all dots are given.

Cells joined by Vs sum to 5. Not all Vs are given.

The cell with a gray circle contains an odd digit.
