One more presentation of Leren's Kraken row (5)r2c3479 (no great choice of different solutions).
Almost-almost X-Wing:

My very slightly different solution:
Double kraken row (5)r2c3479 & box (5)b7p689
(5)r2c3 - [(5=8)r1c3 - r9c3 = (8-5)r9c2 = (5)r9c3] = (5)r8c3
(52-7)r2c47 = (74)b9p67
(5)r2c9
=> -5 r8c9; ste
