Easter Eggs V2 Revisit.

After a couple of easier Revisits (I could solve them!) back to a harder looking one. Up to page 7 of archive A! This gets a score of 1.90 JSudoku uses 5 'complex intersections' and some other techniques that it doesn't use for normal Assassins so this may be over my head. Anyway, worth a try.
Code: Select, Copy & Paste into solver:
3x3::k:2304:4097:4354:4354:6916:4101:4101:2567:4360:2304:4097:4354:6916:6916:6916:4101:2567:4360:4882:4097:2068:2068:6916:3607:3607:2567:4122:4882:4882:2068:5918:2335:6176:3607:4122:4122:2852:2852:5918:5918:2335:6176:6176:2091:2091:2605:2605:3375:5918:2335:6176:2355:4404:4404:2605:5175:3375:3375:9018:2355:2355:3901:4404:1343:5175:3649:9018:9018:9018:4165:3901:1863:1343:5175:3649:3649:9018:4165:4165:3901:1863:

Thanks Ed. That was a tough one, probably the hardest revisit which you've posted (so far); only SKX-2, which I posted as a revisit, may have been harder.

Here's how I solved it this time. As usual I haven't looked at my earlier walkthrough or how others did it, including the original 'tag'-solution.

My walkthrough for Easter Eggs v2 Revisit:
Prelims

a) R12C1 = {18/27/36/45}, no 1
b) R12C9 = {89}
c) R5C12 = {29/38/47/56}, no 1
d) R5C89 = {17/26/35}, no 4,8,9
e) R89C1 = {14/23}
f) R89C9 = {16/25/34}, no 7,8,9
g) 10(3) cage at R1C8 = {127/136/145/235}, no 8,9
h) 19(3) cage at R3C1 = {289/379/469/478/568}, no 1
i) 8(3) cage at R3C3 = {125/134}
j) 9(3) cage at R4C5 = {126/135/234}, no 7,8,9
k) 10(3) cage at R6C1 = {127/136/145/235}, no 8,9
l) 9(3) cage at R6C7 = {126/135/234}, no 7,8,9
m) 20(3) cage at R7C2 = {389/479/569/578}, no 1,2
n) 35(5) cage at R7C5 = {56789}

1a. Naked pair {89} in R12C9, locked for C9 and N3
1b. Naked quint {56789} in 35(5) cage at R7C5, locked for N8
1c. Max R9C6 = 4 -> min R89C7 = 12, no 1,2 in R89C7

2a. 45 rule on R12 3 outies R3C258 = 22 = {589/679}, 9 locked for R3
2b. 5 of {589} must be in R3C8 -> no 5 in R3C25
2c. 10(3) cage at R1C8 = {127/136/145/235}

2f. 9 in C1 only in R45C1, locked for N4, clean-up: no 2 in R5C1

3a. Hidden killer pair 8,9 in 15(3) cage at R7C8 and 16(3) cage at R8C7 for N9, neither can hold both of 8,9 -> they must each contain one of 8,9
3b. 15(3) cage = {168/249/258/348} (cannot be {159} which clashes with 10(3) cage at R1C8), no 7
3c. 10(3) cage at R1C8 = {127/136/235} (cannot be {145} which clashes with 15(3) cage), no 4
3d. 45 rule on C8 3 innies R456C8 = 20 = {479/569/578} (cannot be {389} which clashes with 15(3) cage), no 1,2,3, clean-up: no 5,6,7 in R5C9
3e. 45 rule on C2 3 innies R456C2 = 9 = {126/135/234}, no 7,8,9, clean-up: no 3,4 in R5C1

Somewhat similar conclusions in my steps as for Andrew's, but individual ways to get those conclusions quite different as usual.
Here's how I did it.
Easter Eggs v2 Revisit WT:
1. Innies/outies
Outies r12 = r3c258 = =22(3) = {589} or {679}
Innies r1234 = r4c456 = +11(3)
Innies r6789 = r6c456 = +19(3)
-> r5c456 = +15(3)
Outies n5 = r5c37 = +11(2)
Outies r89 = r7c258 = +22(3) = {589} or {679}
35(5)n8 = {56789} -> Innies n8 = r79c46 = +10(4) = {1234}
Innies c1234 = r28c4 = +15(2) -> 5 not in r8c4
Innies c6789 = r28c6 = +11(2)
Innies c2 = r456c2 = +9(3)
Innies c8 = r456c8 = +20(3)

2. 17(2)n3 = {89}
Of (89) in n9 - at most one in c7 and at most one in c8
-> One each of (89) in c7 and c8 in n9
-> One each of (89) in c7 and c8 in n6

3! Max r56c5 = +8(2) -> Min r56c46 = +26(4) -> 1 not in r56c46
-> 1 in r5 only in r5c5 or r5c9

Trying r5c5 = 1
(a) r5c456 = <519> puts r4c456 = {236} which leaves no solution for 9(3)n5
(b) r5c456 = <618> puts 8(2)n6 = {35} and r46c5 = {35} which puts r28c6 = [65]
which leaves no solution for 24(4)r4c6

-> 1 in r5 only in r5c9

4. -> 8(2)n6 = [71]
-> 7(2)n9 from {25} or {34}
Also r46c8 from {49} or {58}
But the latter case leaves no place for 9 in c8
-> r46c8 = {49}

5. -> 8 in n9 in 15(3)n9 and 9 in n9 in r89c7
-> HS 7 in n9 -> r7c9 = 7
-> r6c89 = [46] and r4c8 = 9
Also Outies r89 = r7c258 = {589} with 9 in r7c25

6. Since 7 already on r5 -> 4 not in 11(2)n4 or outies n5 = r5c37 = +11(2)
-> 4 in r5 in r5c456
Also 1 in n5 in r4c456
-> Innies r1234 = r4c456 = +11(3) = {128} or {137}
-> 6 in n5 in r5c456
-> r5c456 = {456}
-> 6 in n4 in r4c12 and 4 in n4 in r4c123

7! Outies r12 = r3c258 = +22(3) contains a 9
-> 9 not in 19(3)r3c1
-> 19(3)r3c1 = {568} with r3c1 = 5 or 8
-> r4c3 = 4
Also -> Outies r12 = r3c258 = +22(3) = [{79}6]
-> 10(3)n3 = [{13}6]
-> 15(3)n9 = {258}
-> (Since r9c6 is max 4) -> r89c7 = {69} and r7c7 = 1
-> r9c7 = 1

8. r456c2 = +9(3) (No 789)
-> 8 not in 11(2)n4
-> 11(2)n4 = [92]
-> r456c2 = [621]
-> r34c1 = {58}
Also 9(2)n1 = {27} or {36}
-> 5(2)n7 = {14}

9. Since r7c6 is max 4 -> 9(3)r6c7 = [531]
-> r34c9 = [52]
-> r4c456 = +11(3) = {137}
-> r4c7 = 8
-> r5c37 = [83]
-> r6c456 = [928]
-> r45c4 = [15], r45c5 = [34], r45c6 = [76]
etc.

Very tough. Had to use the n5 black-hole which I was desperately trying to avoid since I make mistakes very easily in that situation. And did. Hence, this WT took a long time. [edit: special thanks to Andrew for confirming my solution is correct and making some nice suggestions and finding some typos.]
EEv2 start:
Preliminaries
Cage 17(2) n3 - cells ={89}
Cage 5(2) n7 - cells only uses 1234
Cage 7(2) n9 - cells do not use 789

note: no clean-up done unless stated
1. 17(2)n3 = {89}: both locked for c9 and n3

2. "45" on r12: 3 outies r3c258 = 22 = {589/679}(no 1,2,3,4)
2a. must have 9: locked for r3

3. 9 in c1 only in r45c1: locked for n4

4. "45" on c34: 2 innies r28c4 = 15 = {69/78}
4a. -> r5c3 + r456c4 = [2]{489/579/678/} all blocked
4b. -> no 2 in r5c3
Andrew noticed another way to do this: "r28c4 = 15, max r24568c4 = 35 -> max r456c4 = 20 -> min r5c3 = 3"

5. "45" on n5: 2 outies r5c37 = 11 = {38/47/56}(no 1,2,9)

6. "45" on r6789: 3 innies r6c456 = 19 (no 1)
6a. "45" on r5: 3 remaining innies r5c456 = 15
6b. only combos with 1 are {159/168} (no eliminations yet)

first key step. Very tough
7. 9(3)n5 = {126/135/234}
7a. and "45" on r1234: 3 innies r4c456 = 11
7b. but {236} can only have {135} in 9(3) since {126/234} have two common digits with {236} (Combo crossover clash, CCC)
7c. -> {236} + 9(3) = {26}[3]{26} + [315]
7d. but then h15(3)r5c456 (step 6b) can't make {159/168}
7e. -> {236} blocked
7f. -> r4c456 = {128/137/146/245} = 1 or 5,
7g. -> {159} blocked from h15(3)r5c456

8. 1 in r5 is only in h15(3)r5c456 = {168} or in 8(2)n6
8a. -> {26} blocked from 8(2)n6 (Locking-out cages)
8b. -> 8(2)n6 = {17/35}

9. if 1 in r5 in 8(2)n6 = {17} -> 4 blocked from the two 11(2) in r5 -> 4 in r5c456: locked for n5
9a. or 1 in r5 in h15(3) = {168} only -> h11(3)r4c456 = {245} only
9b. -> 4 locked for n5 in r45c456
9c. and {168} in h15(3) -> 9(3)r4c5 = {135} = [513] (can't be {126} because of CCC)
9d. -> no 4 in r4c5
9e. and no 1 in r5c46

10. h19(3)r6c456 = {289/379/568}
10a. 2 and 3 must be in r6c5 -> no 2,3 in r6c46
10b. h15(3)r5c456: {267/348} blocked by h19(3)
10c. {357} blocked by 8(2)n6
10d. {258} blocked by two 11(2) in r5
10e. = {168/249/456}(no 3,7)

[oops. Andrew noticed a much easier way to do the following step since {146} is blocked by h15(3)r5c456 (step 10e)]
11. h11(3)r4c456 = {128/137/146/245}
11a. but {14}[6]{14} blocked by 9(3)r4c5 = [612] (CCC)
11b. -> no 6 in r4c5
11c. {46}[1]{46} blocked by 9(3) can only be [153] but 5 in r5c5 can only have {456} in r5c456 (step 10d)
11d. -> h11(3)r4c456 = {128/137/245}

Another tough one to see
12. 4 in n5 only in r4c46 + r5c456
12a. -> 4 in r5c7 sees all 4 in n5 apart from r4c4 so must repeat there
12b. -> 23(4)r4c4 must have {47} = 11
12c. but then r56c4 = 12: blocked since no 3 in r56c4
12d. -> no 4 in r5c7

and the other side
12e. 4 in r5c3 sees all 4 in n5 apart from r4c6 so must repeat there
12f. -> 24(4)r4c6 must have {47} = 11
12g. -> r56c6 = 13 = {58} only
12h. but 4 in r4c6 has {25} in r4c45 (step 11d)
12i. -> no 4 in r5c3

13. h11(2)r5c37 = {38/56}(no 7) = 3 or 5

14. 8(2)n6: {35} blocked by r5c37
14a. = {17} only: both locked for r5 and n6

15. "45" on c9: 3 outies r456c8 = 20 (no 1,2)
15a. -> r5c89 = [71]
15b. -> r46c8 = 13 = {49/58}(no 3,6)

16. 7(2)n9 = {25/34}(no 6)

17. 17(3)r6c8: {359} as [9]{35} only, blocked by 7(2)
17a. {458} as [8]{45} only, blocked by 7(2)
17b. = {269/278/368/467}(no 5)
17c. no 8 in r4c8

18. 16(3)r3c9: must have 4,5,9 for r4c8
18a. = {259/349/457}(no 6)

19. h15(3)r5c456 = {249/456}(no 8)
19a. must have 4, locked for r5 and n5

20. 1 in n5 only in h11(3) = {128/137}(no 5,6,9)
20a. 1 locked for r4

21. 8(3)r3c3 must have 1 which is only in r3: locked for r3

22. "45" on c1, 3 outies r456c2 = 9 = {126/135/234}(no 7,8
22a. -> r6c2 = (1,2,3,4)

23. 19(3)r3c1 = {289/379/469/478/568}
23a. note: if it has 5, must also have 8
23b. -> h9(3)r456c2: {135} as [531] blocked since it will have two 8s in c1
23c. -> no 5 in r4c2
23d. -> no 6 in r4c1 in 19(3) (no valid permutations)

24. killer quad 1,2,3,4 in 9(2)n1, 10(3)r6c1 and 5(2)n7: 2,3,4 locked for c1

25. 6 in r4 only in r4c2 or r4c7
25a. if in r4c2 -> r34c1 = {58} only (step 23)
25b. if in r4c7 -> r3c67 = 8 = {35}
25c. -> r3c167 = 5 or 8

26. h22(3)r3c25: {589} blocked by r3c167
26a. -> = {679} only: all locked for r3
26a. -> r3c8 = 6
26b. -> r128 = 4 = {13}: both locked for n3 and c8

Much easier now
Cheers
Ed
