Underneath the very first elevator room (Gorgon Tomb 1), there's a blue door. Enter this door to find a purple bat creature, which gives you your bestiary. You can see this by pausing, then pressing Y.
You need to reach "Completed" 17/84, and then go back to the purple bat. It won't pop if you're just wandering around.
There's a full bestiary here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=25088...
Even better, it includes a map showing where to find any enemies you still need to max out. (for me, most were in Ruins of Ash, but your mileage may vary).
The Bestiary and Map belong to Demajen, who does amazing guides for Metroidvanias: https://steamcommunity.com/id/demajen/myworkshopfiles/?secti...

Great solution! I like to add some information:
- It may not be clear for everybody: You have to kill a certain number of the same enemy to get it "completed". For normal enemies it is usually a number between 5 and 20. The bestiary has the required value.
- For me, the achievement popped right away after killing an enemy. Maybe that got patched.
- Returning to the "purple bat" is still recommended, because it will give a lot of spheres. For 20% you may get around 4000 spheres, which is quite a lot that early in the game.

They might have patched this, but when I was playing i thought this was glitched since it didn't unlock naturally as I filled up my bestiary. I had to talk to the bestiary guy again after receiving one of his rewards and then it unlocked.
You gain the bestiary in the room directly below the starting room.
