In the Thunderhead Ruins, lightning flows along tracks on the floor from the ruin's entrance. You'll need to help keep this power flowing to open the doors to the Thunder Colossus. If you follow the tracks from the generators at the start of the ruins, you'll come up to your first switch, pictured above. When interacted with, switches will turn 90 degrees clockwise. Turn this first switch twice to proceed.

Go through the door on the right first. You'll find a Zoro cube fragment (for powering up skills!) and a hole on your left that you can crawl through as Chopper. It will lead you to a small platform where you can get a Fire Element Jewelry on your right from a treasure chest. You can also use Luffy's Gum-Gum Rocket ability to grab another Zoro cube fragment across the stream in front of you.

Backtrack to the lighting puzzle switch, then go through the door on your left this time. Follow the lightning track and turn left at the fork. You'll come up to the second Thunderhead Ruins lightning puzzle.

Up to this point, you have been helping the lighting pass through, but to shut down the barrier around the Thunder Colossus, you'll need to turn the power off to the four switches around it. To do so:

2. You can fight the bat in front of you, then open up the treasure chest in the corner with an Energy Apple inside.
3. Follow the lightning tracks by climbing the ladder on your right up to the platform.
   • You'll come up to a switch pictured above.
4. Turn it twice to keep the doors open, but cut the power to the shield.

Go through the door on your left. There's a Zoro cube fragment in the back corner of this room for you to grab. Hop up the platform on your right, then use Gum-Gum Rocket on the stalagtite in front of you to reach the lightning tracks again. Follow the track to another switch you'll only need to turn once.

You can fight the Smiley Squirrel in front of you, then head to the back left corner, where there will be a crawl space for Chopper to go through. Follow this path, fighting a few bats along your way until you can climb some vines. Before you go up, grab the Zoro cube fragment hidden behind the rock on the far side of the bottom of the vines.

Climb all the way up the vines, then to the left before climbing back down slightly to find a third switch. You'll need to flip this switch once to cut the power. There's a treasure chest in this room with an Excite Apple inside. There's also some well-hidden Chopper and Usopp cube fragments above you on top of the vines as pictured above.

Follow the still-lit lightning track out of this room. There'll be a Sanji cube Fragment on your right. Then jump through the gap in the banister to the platform below to your final switch. Flip the switch once to shut it down, and you'll be ready to face the Thunder Colossus.
