I used five steps but am not sure that all were required.

Type 3 UR17 r12c49 which forces r1c9=5 or r2c9=8; both result in r7c2=3,
x-wing 7 r89c36,
Type 1 UR17 sets r1c9=5,
xy-wing 457 with pivot47 inr8c1,
BUG+1 sets r6c8=8.

Couldn't do it with the conventional techniques. After an ER, UR and skyscraper, I needed a Medusa wrap to get me to the BUG+1.
