How to unlock the Corrupted Monk achievement in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice - GOTY Edition - Definitive Guide
The Corrupted Monk can be found at the Fountainhead Palace, which is only accessible if you choose to Break the Iron Code, stay loyal to Kuro when you encounter Owl at the top of Ashina Castle.
The battle takes place on a bridge near the beginning of the area. The Corrupted Monk has three health bars so three deathblows are required. You can do a plunging deathblow on phase 2 and stunlock phase 3 as seen here:

I can't get the death blows to work. I tried to get the first one for about an hour. Nothing.
I'm getting over there as quickly as you did. I'm on my first playthrough. I there some skill or something else that I don't have yet that could be the reason?

I don't think so. I double checked the skill tree and I don't see anything that should allow a plunging deathblow. I think this one comes down to specific timing and positioning.

In this video guide I will show you how to defeat the Corrupted Monk. This fight will take place shortly after arriving at the Fountainhead Palace. Once you beat Owl and talk to Kuro you will go back the cave where you got the shelter stone. Go inside the tent to go to Fountainhead Palace. Once you see the bridge you know the boss will show up. Go ahead and equip firecrackers and head in and use the grapple to the trees on the right. Get all the way to the top and wait for him to do his posture move and then jump to get the deathblow. Now once you are able to move climb back up to the top and wait till you see the real version of him to appear on the middle of the bridge. You can tell it is not the fake by seeing the color in him, and the fakes are black. When you are on the top branch target him fast and jump to get another deathblow. Once he recovers just throw firecrackers at him and keep hitting him until he is dead. He should be pretty much dead by the time you use all your firecrackers. Just keep hitting him to finish him off and get the achievement.
