How to unlock the PACIFIST achievement in Downwell - Definitive Guide
Easiest level naturally is 1-1 the first you come across.
It seems to count the treasures you break as well as any enemies, be very careful shooting as the bullets travel and may well kill someone off screen by accident. Bumping into enemies you don't kill and enemies ramming into you count against you as well.
You can shoot , this will not count against you.
You need to finish a level without killing any enemy, which means you can't stomp or shoot anything that can be killed by stomping/shooting.
Use platforms and avoid enemies altogether. Also, make sure you do not shoot at any enemy, or have the Laser weapon, as it traverses the entire screen (as opposed to other reach-limited weapons) and therefore may unintentionally kill an enemy.
There are upgrades that can potentially screw this trophy for you after you get them: Timeout (the void created one-hit kill any enemy), Gunpowder Blocks and Popping Gems (bullets can hit and, therefore, kill an enemy above you), Hot Casing (bullet casings can - and will - kill weaker enemies) and Rocket Jump (the blast can kill enemies caught on it). So, try to this trophy before any of the said upgrades.
Area 1-1 on Normal is the best place to get it. If you accidentally kill an enemy, restart the game and try again. The trophy will unlock at the said level upgrade selection screen.
