bakpao

Well done to @Shogia, @kino, @MikoKisai, @Malrog, @malbolgian, @jettyx, @dangernoodle, @AkashG23 ♛ and @SudOX for guessing today's genre right! 🦦

There's a puzzle drought in bakpao town! I didn't have much time to set the past few months and allocated the time I did have almost exclusively to contests (like UK Open and IPC), and now I've pretty much depleted my backlogs for all the outlets where I post my puzzles. For the first time in two years I ran out of puzzles in the WCPN queue, I'm out of GAPPs and I haven't uploaded anything new to LMI Expo in over 3 months. Oh, and I also still have to author a bunch of puzzles for this year's Serbian puzzle championships. Panic! Sound the alarm! No time for more intro, gotta get authoring!

Today's puzzle is a Haisu on a Cairo Pentagonal grid!

Rules:
Draw a non-intersecting path through the centers of all cells, starting from the S (start) and finishing at the G (goal). Each clued cell must be traveled through on the path’s Nth visit to the region the clue lies within, where N is the value of the clue.

Acquire a Speedy Sloth 🦥 by solving in 3:30 or less!
Obtain a Quick Crab 🦀 by solving in 7:00 or less!
All solvers who complete the puzzle will be rewarded with an Egyptian Egret 🐦!
