#1: besmirched tea (Besmirched Tea) on Aug 29, 2020

I've seen video game tricks to give you infinite XP.
This must be the opposite of that?

The description translates to Rowlet, a Pokemon owl beastie.

Doesn't look like an owl of any kind. Lots of guessing.

LL
EL c1
LL
EL left 4 r5 = c5 white (it would create a block of one in r6 where there would have to be a block of two)
LL


EL 2 c15 = r14-15 w
Two-way logic 2 c15 -
> if it were in r9-10, then c14r10 would have to be black
> if it were in r12-13, then c14r13 would have to be black
= since there is only one 1 left in c14, all the other unknowns in that column must be white. (So c14r7-9, r12, r14-16 must be white)

3-way logic 2 r6: no matter where it goes, r7c6 will be white.
3-way logic 2 r7: It can only fit in c1-2, c2-3, and c4-5. In each of those positions it forces r8c2 to be white.

I am stuck for logic here

The 4 clue in C4 must either go in R12-15C4 or R17-20C4. If you put it in R12-15, then C5 would be invalid as R13-15C5 would be forced to black. So it must go in R17-20C4. LL.

EL in R15 makes R15C12-15 dots. LL to finish.

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by gator.
