Throughout the game you will randomly come across these monsters encased in ice. There is one in the center and 5 or 6 circling. These are the Essence Monsters. Their loot dropped are Essences which allow you to craft new wearables with slightly better RNG. These monsters randomly spawn. So if you find one today it probably won't be there tomorrow.
Along the way, some enemies may drop a Remnant of Corruption. It is a red essence and the description says it corrupts essence monsters.
1. Obtain Remnant of Corruption (trade or RNG drop).
2. Clear maps until you find some frozen Essence Monsters. Don't unfreeze them!!!
3. If you aren't carrying the Remnant, portal home and go get it. Your return portal is good for 8 mins or so.
4. Standing next to the Monsters, hit
(use currency).
5. Choose the Remnant of Corruption.
The achievement will pop as soon as it is applied. I'd just do this one as soon as you get a Remnant or Corruption.
Below is a screen shot of some Essence Monsters I corrupted but still frozen.

Essence monsters are a randomly spawning mechanic that can occur anywhere. One of these encounters can be just "Remnant of Corruption", which will drop the required item. Next time you find an essence monster, press 
to use the Remnant of Corruption before starting the encounter. It is best to use the Remnant of Corruption on Essence of Misery/Dread/Scorn/Envy but the trophy will pop if it's used on any essence monster.

Essence monster is a group of monsters standing frozen in locations. You need to approach them and call out to the leader, after which the whole group unfreezes and attacks you. After victory, you receive the essence that was displayed on the leader at the time of freezing. To get the trophy, you need to use the essence of Remnant of Corruption on the leader. It acts the same as a Vaal Orb (unpredictably), you can get 4 results:
1. essences inside monsters will receive additional essence (or a new Remnant of Corruption will be added).
2. essences inside the frozen monster will be upgraded by 1 level (depending on the tier, essences have from 7 to 3 levels).
3. essences inside monsters will be upgraded by 1 tier (6 tiers in total, and when applying RoC on essences of the 5th tier there is a chance to get 4 unique essences of Horror, Insanity, Delirium and Hysteria)
4. The monsters will instantly unfreeze and immediately attack you.
Remnant of Corruption itself can either be found inside a frozen monster or purchased at a trade.
