"It was filled with enough magic mushrooms to make a god see visions! He said he wasn't sure what vision made him tear one of his eyes out but he ended up restraining him before he could get the other."

If Mantis is up on any common Norse mythos he might recognize the tale of Odin exchanging an eye for a drink from the well of wisdom. Just... a little different.
