You get this achievement for killing a frozen enemy with a crossbow. The way to do this is to first equip the Northern Wind bombs. Find a small group of human bandits (doesn't have to be humans or bandits, but probably the easiest in some ways) and kill all but one of them through your normal fighting methods.

With only one opponent left, whittle down his health until its pretty low, closer to death the better. Roll away to give yourself some distance and hit him with a bomb to freeze him in place. Switch to your crossbow and try for a headshot (does more damage, although if he's low enough in health, even a body shot will work). Two possible outcomes:

1. You kill him, which causes him to shatter into little pieces, unlocking the achievement.

2. You don't kill him, which automatically unfreezes him. Hit him with another bomb and try again, or put some more damage onto him to put him even closer to death, before trying again.

This was easier to get than it sounds. It took me three bombs (overestimated the damage the crossbow would do), but I did it in my first attempt without having to reload.

Note: you can try to do this with 2 or 3 enemies left alive. If they are all suitable low in health and you can get them to cluster, you can freeze them all with one bomb and take one shot at each with your crossbow.

Note 2: as with all crossbow related achievements, having the Lightning Reflexes perk maxed out helps a bit by giving you more time to aim.
