Warning: This trophy is void if you lose a fight against the Wandering Traveller so backup your save before fighting him and restore it if you lose.
Any recorded deaths that you have in any stage will negate this trophy. It is possible to "Die" in the Troupple Pond stage by jumping into the pond. I'm am unsure if a death here will count against the trophy or not, so it is best to play it safe and not fall in. The reason I say "recorded" deaths is because there is a way to undo a death in a stage. There is a trick that I simply refer to as the "Return to Map" trick. If you die, when you regain control of your character, "Pause" the game and select the "Return to Map" option. When you do this, it resets all progress in the level, including your Death Count. After that, just keep trying until you succeed. Thankfully you don't need to restart your entire playthrough in the event that you die. Just that particular stage from the beginning, starting from selecting it from the World Map.
Even with the "Return to Map" trick, this can become rather challenging, particularly in the later stages of the game. If this trophy is giving you trouble, then please see Again!
