It was easy - a combination of 5-layers octagons (to reduce 5 layers to 3) and 3-layer dodecahedron. 857 twists.
Hint for future solvers: if you are going to solve 3C after 2C, it’s better first set proper orientation for all 3C’s relative to the current "equator" (by moving of wrong-oriented pieces to another hemisphere) and then work in one hemisphere without other crossings of equator :)

Good luck!
