Confused about what to do?
You are down a lot of material, so winning the bishop alone is not enough. That being said, you do not need to obtain a crushing lead: a small lead in material in an endgame is plenty to win.

An important lesson to take away from this one!
.(Big spoiler)
Always check the pawn advances when considering a bishop capture, as you can often get trapped! This happens especially often when your fianchetto'd bishop is taking on the second rank (say Bg2 x b7, you have to be wary of c6, potentially trapping your bishop).

I hope you've been practicing in the days we missed, because this is the highest rated puzzle we've had to date! That being said, I do not think it is the hardest puzzle we've had, so give it a shot!

After solving the puzzle
I recommend trying to beat the highest level of stockfish as black from the final position. It is actually hard! It's almost like another puzzle.
