1. TH(349)b1245 having four guardians: 7r5c25, r6c14. Note that 7r5c2 & 7r6c4 have the same parity (both conjugates of 7r6c12) => three chains to be considered.
(6)r9c8 = (6-7)r9c2 = r56c2 - r6c1 == r6c4|r5c5 - (7=6349)r4c3456 - (3|4|9=5)r4c8 => -5 r9c8; 10 placements

2. Look at UR(67)r48c45, having two external guardians 7r4c9, 7r8c1
Combining TH(349)b1245 guardians and UR(67)r48c45 externals:
(7)r4c9 = r5c79 - r5c25 =TH= r6c1 - r8c1 =UR= (7)r4c9 => +7 r4c9; 7 placements
Edit:
End with some AIC's and krakens (that I will post later)The puzzle is now solved with five krakenless steps (X-chains, S-Wing, Remote Pairs)

3. (9)r3c2 = r3c5 - r7c5 = r7c13 => -9 r9c2
4. Remote pair (3,4): r1c4 = r1c3 - r4c3 = r4c456 => -34 r6c4
5. (3)r7c5 = r7c13 - (3=7)r9c2 - r5c2 = (7)r5c5 => -3 r5c5
