Mantle Locations and How to Spawn Tempered Investigations
Status+ Mantle - Increases status accumulation for a short time: Fully research 10 monsters.
Immunity Mantle - Removes & Nullifies abnormal status effects for the duration of the mantle: Fully research 15 Monsters.
KO Mantle - Adds exhaust/stun to attacks, and improves weapons that already exhaust/stun: Hunt 5 unique threat level 1 tempered monsters (Pukei, Anja, Tobi, Barroth, Rathian, Radobaan, Paolumu, etc).
Evasion Mantle - Increases evasion window, grants increased attack when evading at the last second: Hunt 5 unique tempered threat level 2 monsters (Bazel, Rathalos, Odogaron, Diablos, Black Diablos, Legiana, Urugaan, etc).
Rocksteady Mantle - Provides HG earplugs, tremor/wind res, prevents flinching: Hunt 3 Unique tempered elder dragons (not sure on this one, but make sure you at least hunt a tempered Kushala and Teostra, as they unlocked the quest for me). Per /u/Sumire_Gelato, quest unlocked with Vaal, Kirin, & Nergy, so it seems to be any 3 elders.
For those looking to add Tempered investigations the route I used was:
Fast travel to the top of Ancient forest > check Rathalos nest for Tempered Kushala (Lv. 3) > Check room below for tempered azure/rath (Lv.2) > Teleport to northeast forest camp and head counter clockwise around the map for Pukei and Anjanath prints (Lv.1)
Fast travel to Wildspire Waste Diablo cave > Check cave for Diablos tracks (Lv.2) > Check diablos resting area for Black Diablos tracks (Lv.2) > Check sandy area above for Teostra tracks (Lv.3) > Loop around the path crossing the central camp to pick up Barroth tracks (Lv.1) > Head back across the marsh and toward the starting camp for Rathian & Jyura tracks (Lv.1)
Fast travel to mountain camp of coral highlands > Grab Legiana tracks (lv.2) and Kirin tracks (lv.3) on the way up to Legianas nest > If you have it, use the glider mantle to fly up to Legiana's nest for tracks (lv.2)
Fast travel to bottom camp of rotten vale > head toward odogaron's resting place for Odo tracks (Lv.2) > Head toward Vaal's nest for tracks & rotten meat (Lv.3) > Fast travel to starting camp, head to the right toward the two bone areas for a bunch of radobaan tracks (lv.1) > Complete the clockwise loop back to the camp for more radobaan (lv.1) and a bazel track (lv2).
Fast travel to the starting camp in elders recess > Hug the right wall and pick up Urugaan tracks (lv.2) until you hit the fire area, swing through lavasioths lair for its tracks (lv.2), wing by the entrance to teostras lair for its tracks (lv.3), head through the center crystal area on your way up to daoras nest for various level 2/3 tracks > at daoras nest grab its tracks (lv.3).
Coming back to town from this usually has a good assortment of Tempered Investigations ready. Additionally, while hunting tempered monsters, if you take the time to crouch and follow them around for a bit to pick up their tracks before starting the fight, you can unlock additional tempered from that (note: breaking parts on tempered monsters only unlock non-tempered investigations for some reason).
