Two ERs, two Hidden URs, XY-Wing with pincer transport, and another XY-Wing. I was staring at a brick wall for quite some time when I noticed a triple in box 1. I don't know if failure to spot that triple would have precluded some of the other moves.

Although I found extraneous steps in my solver's solution, I believe the few basics were all important to exposing the final advanced steps.

Four steps:
skyscraper on 2
finned swordfish on 3,
xy-wing 2-47 with pincer transport,
xy-wing 24-7 with pincer transport.

I agree with Marty that this puzzle required basic cleanup between advanced moves.
