Eureka!

Normal Sudoku rules apply.
CAVE - Shade some additional cells grey ("walls") and leave some unshaded ("cave"). The cave is one connected group, and walls form connected groups that touch an edge of the grid.
WHISPER LOOP - Draw a 1-cell wide loop that moves orthogonally, entering every cave cell (and no wall cells). Each digit on the loop in row N differs from its neighbors on the loop by at least N.
GOLD - Gold is found in wall cells with digits larger than their row number. All possible gold has been given.
KROPKI - Digits separated by a white dot have consecutive values.
Solution code: Cave digits in column 2 from top to bottom

Definitely had some eureka moments in this one. Once you have your head around it, it’s probably a 3 star but the length of time it took to get my head thinking along the correct lines makes it a 4 star.
