How to Get Astalos
Head over to the Mirror Lake fast travel point and travel north. Make sure you have a monster with the Perfect Crush ability and a hammer weapon. Also, bring along a flying and swimming monster to help you get across the waters north of the fast travel point. Once you reach it, use your flying monster to fly northwest to the top of the hill. Continue down the path until you reach the Invasive Seregios den. Defeat the monster to get the Astalos egg.
How to Get Espinas
Make your way to Broadleaf Basin lookout point at night. Travel west along the length of the island and step into the water. Continue west until you find a cave entrance. Head inside to find a sleeping Espinas. Food buffs and other consumables will help power up your team, helping you win this fight quickly. Once defeated, you will get the Espinas egg.
How to Get Lagiacrus
From the Mirror Lake fast travel point, travel all the way north through the gap between the two islands. A swimming monster is ideal to use here. Also, make sure you are traveling at night to get the monster spawn. As you travel north on the water, you will reach the cave of the Invasive Plesioth. Make the monster retreat using fire attacks to get the Lagiacrus egg.
How to Get Brachydios
Start at the Ancient Battlegrounds fast travel point at night. Travel south to find a wandering Brachy. Defeat it using water attacks and apply paralysis status effects frequently. Eventually, it will retreat, so use this time to head into the cave and collect the Brachy egg.
