The brief

Normal Sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1-9 in each row, column and box without repetition. Ying Yang: shade some cells so that all shaded and unshaded cells form 2 form orthogonally connected areas such that no 2x2 area is entirely shaded or unshaded, and all the clues values in the unshaded area are liar clues and not true. Some cells are shaded and therefore true clues. Each clue is either fully shaded or unshaded. XV Pairs: Digits separated by an X sum to 10. Digits separated by a V sum to 5. Arrow: Digits on an arrow must sum to the digit placed in that arrow's circle. Kropki Pairs: Digits separated by a black dot must be in a 2:1 ratio. Digits separated by a white dot must be consecutive.
