A solution for DP fans: Potential DP (27) r23c28 + bi-value cells r2c2, r3c8 + Strong links 2 + 7 Boxes 1 + 3
2 r2c8 [ => 7 r2c2, r3c8 ] - r2c12 = r3c2: DP => -2 r2c8;
7 r2c8 [ => 2 r2c2, r3c8 ] - r2c12 = r3c2: DP => -7 r2c8;
2 r3c2 [ => 7 r2c2, r3c8 ] - r3c78 = r2c8: DP => -2 r3c2;
7 r3c2 [ => 2 r2c2, r3c8 ] - r3c78 = r2c8: DP => -7 r3c2; stte
A non-DP solution:

PS Corrected typos in Inverted W-wing - I had yet another dyslexic moment.

Using same DP (r23c28), different approach:
(5=8) r1c7 - (8=5) [DP r23c28] => -5r1c3, -5r3c7; stte

(5=8) r1c7 - (8=5) [DP r23c28] => -5r1c3, -5r3c7; stte

# 47 eliminations remain
(5=8)r23c2,r2c1 - (8)r2c8; DP => r3c2=5 -or-
(8=5)r23c8,r3c7 - (5)r3c2; DP => r2c8=8
- Code: Select all
-or- non-ALS using <58> Naked Pair in [r1] combined with SL on <5> in [b1] and SL on <8> in [b3]
(5)r3c2 = r1c3 - (5=8)r1c7 - (8)r2c8; DP => r3c2=5
(8)r2c8 = r1c7 - (8=5)r1c3 - (5)r3c2; DP => r2c8=8
Addendum:
Just saw Marty's post. A nice alternative !
