How to unlock the Pacifist achievement in The Orange Box - Definitive Guide
In Episode 1, in the Citadel core there are 2 stalkers. They fire a laser at the energy ball receptacles, resetting them. All you need to to get the achievement is not kill them for your convenience. Sounds easy right? Well, it actually is.
Generally, at any given point in the room only 2 receptacles are within your view. You need these two to activate the bridges between the islands. Once you know your targets, quickly grab an energy ball and fire it into a receptacle and then quickly grab another and fire it into the other one. Now dash across the bridge.
The stalkers will ignore you there, so no worries about your safety. Repeat as needed.
Please note that these are the only 2 you don't have to kill at all. The rest you can go nuts on.

Achievement seems a little glitchy - I got all the way through without killing the stalkers and got nothing. I'll have to run through it again, see if I have better luck the second time.

Huh. I got it my first time and I'm fairly sure I killed every other stalker I could find.

Fragger from the Achievement Hunters.com shows us how to get the "Pacifist" achievement for half-life 2 episode 1. This achievement is not as hard as it sounds.

I missed this and had to replay. I definitely didn't kill a stalker on purpose so my advise is every time you go through the central room, check that there are still 2 stalkers wandering around. A badly aimed energy sphere will rebound and kill a stalker without your knowledge.

Yup that is true.

The stalkers that you can't kill are the two that are below the core. They are the bony skinny looking guys. Just don't kill them and shoot the energy balls in the opener things. Be quick because these guys disable them right after. When the core is contained and your gravity gun goes back to its original self, the achievement will unlock.
