It looks like you can place some x's in the second last column - the 'ones' as the last digit in the bottom few rows mean that some of the squares in the second last column can't be filled in. Hope that helps.

Exactly! It looks like you've done a great job so far - I haven't yet noticed anything else. When I get stuck I try to do the edges, so maybe look at the top row. Can you decide maybe where the fives need to go?

I think it would be like this: https://ibb.co/F6kLxqW
However I would like to solve the puzzle logically, not by my intuition. I just wanted to find a way to prove my assumption is correct.

Around the middle - Row20 Col40.
There's not enough room for two 2's between that and the block of 3 that must be part of the 6 in that row. So it must be part of one of the 2's.

Thanks, I found one of 2 but I'm not sure which of the 2 blocks it is. I discovered little yesterday that would unlock the rest of the puzzle, unfortunately

With Row20Col41 filled in, we have now completed the 5 in Col41 and left two options for the 1: Rows 23 or 24.
We don't know which one, but both rows have a 3 as the next clue, so either way will fill in the last square required in Col42. The rest of that column can therefore be crossed out.

Thank you very much for your tip, thanks to it I managed to unlock the rest of the puzzle! I admit that I made a few mistakes and I had to redo it based on the answer, but I managed to end up erasing the errors and redoing the rest in logic. I will try to do more big puzzles like this one (maybe redo it from scratch someday again) to fix everything I learned in it and everything I learned from you all, thank you so much!!! :D
