Without harder techniques i think, that (beside of basics) x/xy/xyz-wing, UR and a unique loop (type 3) are needed.

An xy-wing in boxes 8-9, and two serpentine xy-chains in boxes 4-9 will solve it. Not pretty, but it works.

Ravel,

I was looking at the unique loops in R123 and hoping I could avoid the XYZ-wing at the end.

Will look again after dinner. Seems like a Medusa candidate to me!
