A huge thanks goes to Dr Doppelklick for explaining something I did not realize when I wrote my previous guide, this simplifies the task big time!
When you start a new character you will start in Gorgon Pass with Katarina, first thing to do is to press and go over to skills, go to your Shoot skill (In the Occult Hunter section) then press on one of the three smaller circle above it. Go over the middle circle (Tar shot) and press 3 times to switch the number to 0. Now press to finish the combo.
Continue through the level as you would normally until you level up, when you level up put the character points into dexterity, one skill point into the Shoot skill and one into the Ghostly Mirage trick.
Now continue on once again until you get to the large clearing just past the shrine (noticeably larger on the minimap) inch to the right a little at a time to get the wolves attention in here then bring them back to the left abit to kill them so you do not activate the Domovoi spawn.
Once you clear out the group of 10-15 wolves you should go into the menu, go to the companion tab and press to switch the far left panel to the behaviour settings, change melee to ranged and defend to assist. Now go into the skills tab, go to the Shoot skill and press on the 3 smaller circles again, while over top the middle circle (Tar shot) press 3 times so it shows the number 3, press and close the menus.
Equip the gun if it is not equipped already.
Now you will walk to the right and when Katarina says "Look a Domovoy" you should see a creature running from the top of the screen to the bottom, quickly press to use Ghostly Mirage, then press to activate rage now you can shoot the Domovoy with and hold it to keep shooting. You may have to reposition yourself to keep hitting him.
Once the Domovoy has jumped off the cliff pick up all that sweet loot (including gold piles) and you should unlock the achievement.
Credit for the tip of not constantly depleting your rage goes to Dr Doppelklick
Zavistic and Born Knight 74 have confirmed that this achievement is also cumulative in case you do not get 20 on your first try, however some people have also said the achievement was NOT cumulative for them
**Playing on my girlfriends account I did get the achievement to 80% on my first attempt, and then hit 100% on a second character picking up only a minimal amount of loot, however that being said I feel that the counting is off. When I got 80% I only picked up a few pieces of loot/gold, and when I went from 80% to 100% I could only see 1 single pile of gold get picked up by my character which obviously does not make sense. I would say if it does not unlock on your first or second try just keep trying. but personally and as people have said in the comments it should work.**

While I was looking online last night I saw that there is another place that you can see him in which case the same method of slowing him down would work, I'm not sure where that is though. If someone finds out feel free to let me know and I will add it to the solution.
Restarting sounds like a pain but it does only take 5 minutes and you can have multiple characters. I just wanted to get this achievement out of the way personally.

So, if you miss getting him the first time, do you have to start a new game?

This achievement is missable and located directly at the beginning of the game. If you miss or "fail" Domovoy on your first playtrough, create a new hunter and play to the point in this video (2 minutes)
Set Lady Katarina to "Ranged" and Assist, this is important. We use also the skill "Ghostly Mirage". We have to hit Domovoy 20 times for 20 pieces. If you fail or the achievement is not unlocked, try to dashboard and reload otherwise create again a new hunter and repeat.
Unconfirmed: cumulative with more chars. (needs confirming from more users)

I've tried 8 characters and between char 7 and 8 I checked the tracker in snap mode, didn't change from 80% to 100% after picking up more than 4 pcs of loot. So I am stuck on max 16 pcs. It doesn't seem to work across multiple characters. Will have to try to get 20 in one go.

EDIT 2: You can also just deactivate Auto-Combos in the options... ;)
EDIT: Better yet: Deactivate auto for melee and use ranged later :)
In addition to Dream Fiends excellent guide you can also deactivate the auto spending of Rage by pressing on the first skill to build a combo and then 3 times to set the middle modifier to 0. This way Rage will only get spend manually with the right stick.
Shortly before the Gold Domovoy you can either press 3 times or reactivate the auto spending again. Auto is easier.
And yes, this should have been explained much better ingame... :)

I used the ranged ghost system and the rage meter for shooting the domovoy, and managed to get a lot of gold piles, probably got my share of 20. Noticed that i slowed him dow, giving me the opportunity to get a lot of hits.
Was checking my achievement % on the xbox app for windows 10 and after 5 tries i got it. I had 30% completion and after every time it moved up...last game of 5 (everytime creating a new character) I had 90%, so there was no error in completing it.

Although this can be done at the very beginning, I found it really simple to do on a second playthrough with Neverending Story because I couldn't figure out the Rage thing so I could slow him down. Didn't bother to look it up either. All you really need is to have Sphere of Timelessness maxed. You can either take your time and kill the enemies, or just run past them until you get to the Domovoy. Simply just run right next to him, use Sphere of Timelessness, stand still, and shoot him. I didn't have it pop until sometime after he jumped off the ledge, so I'm not sure if I just picked up the last piles by the edge or not. Anyways, if you don't mind waiting until you can start Neverending Story with an existing character it makes this really simple. If you also prefer to see a video of it, I put a link to a clip I made for it.

Hey all, quick video for how to unlock What's in the Bag. Hope it helps!
In the very first area of the game, Gorgon Pass, you will find an enemy named "Suspicious Domovoy" who will run away as soon as you approach him. You need to use your rage attack "Tar Shot" to slow his movement (use it again after about 5 seconds to continue to slow him) and set Katarina to use ranged attacks and the "Ghostly Mirage" ability. Use ranged attacks yourself, and between you and Katarina there will be plenty of loot drops (one for every hit), and gold piles count as well - it doesn't have to be equippable items.
This guide was translated automatically.
At the very beginning of the game, before reaching the waterfall, a brownie will appear. You need to have time to damage him 20 times until he jumps down. To do this, instruct Lady Katarina to shoot. And just as you see the brownie, activate her illusory copy skill.

The optimal class for this is the miracle worker; at the second level he has an improvement to his first skill (three projectiles per hit), and he also has the advantage of slowing down the enemy. Well, don’t forget about the advice above.
