    Tragedy at Sri Lanka Prison: 23 Killed, 100+ Injured in Riot

    Clashes inside a Sri Lankan prison have resulted in the deaths of 23 individuals, including four correctional officers, and more than 100 inmates injured. This marks the most violent prison disturbance in the country in over five years, officials reported Monday.

    The injured were transported to Negombo Hospital, located north of Colombo, after overnight violence between prisoners affiliated with two drug trafficking gangs at the main prison in that region. Hospital director Pushpa Gamlath confirmed that the facility received 23 bodies and admitted over 100 wounded inmates and guards.

    “The victims sustained gunshot wounds, lacerations, and severe bruising,” Gamlath told AFP by phone. The chaos began on Sunday night at Negombo Prison, which houses several thousand inmates. As news of the uprising spread, female inmates in an adjoining section climbed onto the roof, demanding their release. During the chaos, part of the roof collapsed, injuring some of the women.

    Police special forces arrived on the scene Monday but did not enter the prison itself. Outside, large groups of family members gathered, while the air force deployed drones and a helicopter to monitor the situation. Local residents reported hearing gunfire during the incident.

    A police official told AFP, “Four guards lost their lives trying to stop the riot. The situation escalated out of control this morning.”

    This outbreak of violence follows a 2020 incident at another Sri Lankan prison where a riot left 11 inmates dead and 117 wounded amid the COVID-19 pandemic. That unrest prompted the government to release hundreds of prisoners to decongest overcrowded facilities.

    Data shows that as of Sunday, Sri Lankan prisons held approximately 41,250 inmates—about four times their official capacity.

    Completing Sugar Riot in the Arcadion of Final Fantasy XIV

    Sugar Riot is the second challenger you’ll face in the Cruiserweight division of the Arcadion within Final Fantasy 14. Drawing power from the Feral Soul of a slime, Sugar Riot can make her graffiti come alive, utilizing magic similar to that of a Pictomancer to manipulate the arena around her.

    To conquer Sugar Riot and move up to the champion title in the Cruiserweight division, you’ll need to stay agile and ready to adapt. Below, we’ll explore each of Sugar Riot’s attacks and strategies to dodge them effectively.

    Sugar Riot Raid Guidance

    This encounter unfolds in three phases, with Sugar Riot employing different mechanics in each one, starting with her basic attack phase.

    The arena’s edges are lined with an AoE that inflicts heavy damage if you step inside. Keep this in mind as you engage in the fight.

    Basic Attack Phase

    Attack Name

    Type

    Details

    Mousse Mural

    Roomwide AoE

    Affects the entire party with damage. Heal with AoE recovery spells.

    Single Style

    AoE

    Creates a random symbol that triggers an attack.


    Bomb: Explodes in the indicated area, causing damage in a large AoE.


    Winged Bomb: Drops in an area, then flies to the opposite side of the arena before detonating.


    Arrow: Launches line AoEs from various positions around the arena.


    Targeted Arrow: Draws all arrow line AoEs toward the center target, creating safe zones on the edges next to the arrows.

    Pudding Party

    Continuous Stack Marker

    A random player is marked with a Continuous Stack Marker. Group up with the marked player and remain there during the attack.

    Color Riot

    Double Tankbuster

    Deals significant damage in an area surrounding both Tanks. Tanks should spread out from one another and from other players to avoid overlapping damage.

    Double Style

    AoE

    After the Desert Landscape Phase, Double Style will paint two symbols simultaneously, merging their effects. The combination of symbols is random, so pay attention to the symbols painted and move accordingly to avoid their AoEs.

    After using each of these attacks, Sugar Riot will cast Sugarscape, changing the arena into a desert landscape, or river landscape if the desert has already been established.

    Desert Landscape Phase

    Attack Name

    Type

    Details

    Layer – Sun

    Debuff

    Sugar Riot adds a sun to the arena, applying the Sweltering debuff, which deals damage over time and cannot be removed.

    Layer – Cacti

    AoEs

    Clusters of cacti will sprout in the arena, exploding when they reach full size. Keep an eye on each group and move to evade their AoEs.

    Layer – Sinkhole

    AoE

    Sugar Riot creates a sinkhole near the center of the arena, with small safe spots at the corners. Falling into the sinkhole will result in death after a few seconds, so move toward the corners.


    After the initial sinkhole, another one will appear closer to one edge of the arena, while more cacti begin to erupt. Avoid the sinkhole’s side of the arena as you dodge the cacti AoEs.

    Mousse Touch-up

    AoE Markers

    All players will receive an AoE Marker. Spread out to avoid overlapping damage.

    Sugar Riot will finish this phase with Mousse Mural, returning to her normal attack state and using the same abilities as before.

    River Landscape Phase

    Following the desert landscape phase, Sugar Riot will eventually use Sugarscape again, now forming a river landscape that features three landmasses separated by a river, all connected by bridges. Entering the water grants Fire Resistance Up but applies Lightning Resistance Down.

    Attack Name

    Type

    Details

    Taste of Thunder

    AoE Markers

    All players will receive Lightning-aspected AoE Markers. Spread out but avoid being in the river when the AoE hits, as it will cause additional damage.

    Taste of Fire

    Double Stack Markers

    Two players will get Fire-aspected Stack Markers. Split into two groups and stack with each targeted player, but do so in the river to lessen damage.

    Layer – Rain

    AoEs

    Sugar Riot will introduce rain, transforming the river into muddy water, which causes the Dropsy debuff that deals damage over time. Additionally, several random lightning strikes will occur, creating damage in circular AoEs.

    Layer – Storm

    AoE

    Sugar Riot will summon a lightning cloud above one landmass, which will explode after a second, causing damage in a large AoE. Utilize the bridges to cross to another piece of land and avoid the muddy river.

    Sugar Riot will once again conclude with Mousse Mural, restoring the arena to normal. She will repeat all the attacks from her basic phase and rotate through the desert and river landscape phases until she is defeated.
