There are two ways to do this. The right way and the achievement hunter way. I'll start with the latter.
First, you need to unlock all of the shortcuts. Take the shortcut to 5-1, the ice caves, this is where the Eggplant Child is. He is sleeping in a cave that is next to a grey altar with some purple stuff on top of it. What you're looking for is a shop with a teleporter in it, either a handheld or a telepack. You also need to have a shopkeep guarding treasure close by to where the Eggplant Child, hopefully to the right or left of it. Bomb down to where the shopkeep is (the one you can see in the walls holding a shotgun) until he is either dead or has left the area. Walk inside the treasure room and bomb the walls that are closest to the Eggplant Child and then teleport to it and pick up the Eggplant Child to get the acheivement. -> https://i.imgur.com/M4d2msX.mp4
Another quick way but rare find is to find a shopkeep that is selling a present and there is a kali alter on the same 5-1 level. Either buy the present from the shop or steal it and then place the present on the kali alter. This will sacrifice the present and an eggplant will take its place. Take the eggplant and put it on the grey and purple altar and this will open the entrance to the Eggplant Child. -> https://i.imgur.com/ZhknugX.mp4
A word of caution on the actual eggplant item. It is incredibly fragile and will break if it is knocked out of your hand. If a Hired Hand picks it up, the only way to get it back from him without destroying it is to pick up the Hired Hand, run against a wall, and then place the Hired Hand on the ground in the corner where you were running. If place him anywhere else, the eggplant will break when he falls.
Now, a more guaranteed way (but not guaranteed) is to find any level that has a shopkeep selling a present and a kali alter on it. Sacrifice the present and take the eggplant with you. If this happens before 3-1, you can leave the eggplant with Waddler before continuing by bombing out the bottom right wall where the Olmec fight starts. On 5-1, Waddler appears again hidden in a wall that is right above where the caves are that lead you to the two minibosses. To easily find Waddler, walk into the miniboss cave and just look up, you'll see Waddler hanging out and that will tell you where to bomb on the front layer of the level. Take the eggplant to the eggplant alter and place it there, opening the eggplant door and popping the eggplant achievement when you walk in and see the eggplant child.
A guaranteed present can always be found on 4-2 as well although an altar might not appear in the level. You can also not take presents with you to new levels unfortunately. To get the present, go to bottom of the level and kill the giant fish, Humphead. To kill him, simply drop to the very bottom of the water in the center after getting his attention and having him chase you. If you're touching the ground inbetween the two blocks, he will not be able to hurt you and you can whip him to death here. When he dies, he'll drop a present, a hired hand, and a camera. Take the present and (hopefully) sacrifice it on this level and take the eggplant through to 5-1.

The achievement hunter way works perfectly. Probably took 100 attempts of finding a teleporter but didn't take long at all. Luckily for me I got a run with a dice game and a TP and the shopkeeper was right next to it and the eggplant area. Just had to collect a bit of money, use the whipping dice trick to guarantee a 1 or 6, and safely bomb the shopkeepers from both the dice room and treasure vault.

Of all the trophies in Spelunky 2, this one is probably the most luck-dependant. It requires you to wake the Eggplant Child in the Ice Caves, by placing an eggplant on the altar marked by a Moai head. To obtain an eggplant, one must place a gift (a wrapped gift found most commonly in shops but also obtainable by killing the Humphead on 4-2 of the Tide Pool) on Kali’s Altar, for which she will award you with an eggplant. This might sound simple but it is the most frustrating part of this trophy. Since you can’t carry presents to the next floor, you have to hope that a shop with a present and an altar spawn on the same floor, which happens very rarely. While just playing the game, you should keep an eye out for floors in which it is possible to get the eggplant, as knocking this trophy out early can save you a lot of trouble later. If you want to get this trophy as quickly and efficiently as possible, my best advise is to just start a new run, clear the first floor as quickly as possible and to check whether the shop on 1-2 has a present and if there is an altar. If either of these requirements aren’t met, which will happen like 19 out of 20 times, just restart and try again. It is very possible to spend half an hour just restarting, doing the first floor over and over again, before getting the right requirements to get the eggplant.
Getting the eggplant does not mean the worst is behind you though. Far from it; the eggplant will break if you so much as toss or whip it (you can put it down), meaning that you will have to be very careful, carrying it through every floor until 5-1. I would recommend placing the eggplant at the start of the floor, clearing a path and dealing with most threats, before picking it up again and taking it to the next section. Carrying the eggplant, which you can’t throw, makes you pretty much defenceless, since you can’t whip enemies and any major knockback might cause you to drop the eggplant, turning it to mush. Try to find a means of mobility like a jetpack or a hoverpack. A turkey can also be very valuable, since its double jump and floating ability makes it possible to avoid most threats. It also serves as a shield, taking damage for you if you get hit.
After reaching the Ice Caves, look for a large Moai Head. Next to it you will find an altar, covered in purple eggplant mush. Place the eggplant on it and a passage inside the Moai head will open, in which you will find the Eggplant Child sleeping. Walking to him will wake it up, earning you this trophy.
Note that to complete the Journal, the Eggplant Child must eventually be guided to the Sunken City. The nice part about this though, is that seeded runs are allowed for completing the Journal, meaning that you will only have to wake up the Eggplant Child in a non-seeded run, after which you can use a seeded run, in which you won’t have to rely on RNG, to lead the child to the Sunken City. This is covered in detail under the Seen It All
trophy.

First, you need to place a gift on the Altar of Kali at any level (from the store or from the Big Fish in the Great Lake). An Eggplant will appear. It is fragile (physics is like a vase): drop it and it will break. The eggplant needs to be brought to level 5-1, at the beginning there will be a purple altar next to the Moai statue. Placing the Eggplant on the altar will open a secret entrance to the cave where the Eggplant Child lives.
The easiest way is to start the second shortcut (Olmec's Lair), go to the Water World. Reach level 4-2, if there is no Altar of Kali there, restart. When you find the Altar, all you have to do is kill the Big Fish at the bottom of the Great Lake and bring a gift to the Altar.
