3 Petal Death Blossom: Stem Cell r1c1 {579};
(1=5) r7c7, r8c8, r9c9 - (5) r1c1
(1=7) r7c7, r9c9 - (7) r1c1;
(1=9) r3c124 - (9) r1c1; => - 1 r4c4
This works the same way as it does in ordinary Sudoku but two of the ALSs are at the bottom of the \ diagonal. I'll stop there, but after the DB you can make progress with some easy moves.
