Here's a guide of Act 5, with this achievement at the start.
1. You'll start off on a green spiraling path with water in between paths.
2. Click the circles that pop up in the bottom middle of your screen. They are white spirally circles with patterns.
3. Eventually, the game will lighten up and zoom out.
4. Start on the dirt mound next to the hole, just below where you start.
5. Walk to the left, following the path. You'll do a loop and a half before the path doubles back, then doubles back and forth a few times in front of the barn, ending at a mound.
6. Stop at the mound at the end. If you get the achievement, great. If not, run directly back to the first mound, and try again.

This is a good guide, but I found that playing through to the part AFTER the singing made this a lot easier, as the perspective shifts to a more overhead view. Once the singing stopped I went to point 4 of the guide above, and got it first time

In Act V, notice how the symbol in the ground is the same one in the achievement (and when you start up the game). You just need to retrace the symbol while playing as the cat. Thankfully, you don't have to be perfect, but try to be as precise as you can. Start at the mound of dirt in the center and walk/run on the green section of the symbol as carefully as possible. Once you touch the other mound at the end, the achievement should unlock. If you mess up along the way, just start again at the center mound.

This was HARD for me to get on console/controller, but I was able to do it! Don't give up! Just go slow and be patient. I'm lucky I have an elite 2 controller so I turned the joystick sensitivity down and was able to slowly walk the cat along the path. Took about 8 trys though! Seems like it's much easier on PC.

Act V
All of Act V is played in the same location labeled as "A Town" and you play the length of the Act as a small black cat. Traveling around the area will either let you listen in on conversations between various characters, read text about the ghost-like Seer characters roaming the town, or start an interchange between one of the characters and the cat, as it meows its responses.
Eventually, the scene will progress to different times of the day and three title cards will appear on the screen. The first title screen will say "WE SAVED WHAT WE COULD" once the group gathers at the white building frame. The second card will read "RON DUG A GRAVE" after the cat interacts with Rita whenshe is sitting on a bench in between the building with all the loud birds and the little shop building. The third title card will precede the final elements of the story that close out the story. At any point between WE SAVED WHAT WE COULD and the end of the Act you can attempt this trophy, though I would suggest doing it either after the screen says RON DUG A GRAVE or directly following the final story moment during the aerial view, before heading back to the white building to end the Act.
What you need to do for this trophy is interact with the mound of dirt that is right outside the hole in the center of the area (The hole the boat crew climbed out at the end of Act IV) and follow the grassy path that spirals around and ends at a second mound of dirt in front of where Ron is digging the grave outside the barn. Going from the inner mound to the outer mound following the grass path that matches the trophy image and interacting with each mound should make the trophy activate.
I attempted this trophy about ten times throughout the Act and the only time it worked was in this direction and at this time. If you are still not seeing the trophy activate this way, wait until the funeral has ended and you will have a nice aerial view of the town. You should find it much easier to trace the path from the mound by the hole to the mound close to the barn and this should finally allow you to be awarded the trophy.

Act 5
While you play as the cat, from the center of the map where the hole is, there is a small mound that you need to run around in a spiral counter clockwise, finishing by the barn. You will notice it is a spiral of grass with water filling the gaps. Just try to stay to the path and not the water. You will notice a spiral symbol at the bottom center of the screen. This is the shape you need to run from the dirt mount. This unlocked on my third try, so try it a few times if it doesn't unlock right away despite feeling like you did it.
This is not an easy achievement to describe how to obtain in words, so refer to the following video for a visual guide.
