Nope, but there's two ways to avoid her.

Yes! It's a bit tricky, but possible

Yo thanks I figured it out I'm dumb

Just for future reference on how to beat Frida without killing the Witch.

I entered the room and rushed to trigger the Frida boss before the witch seemed to spawn. That or I got outside of the witch's agro before she spawned. Just rush to the boss fast enough by rolling and you won't have to worry about her.

I went for pacifist and failed but not sure what I did wrong. On Frida, can you kill the summoned wolves? I didn't kill them because I assumed you couldn't (I think there's a similar thing with pacifist in Momodora III). Also, if enemies are killed by the environment, even if you don't touch them at all, I imagine you don't get the achiev either? I think that's what killed me, an enemy dying somewhere without me touching him.

I managed getting the achievement my first time trying to get it. I didn't kill any of the wolves during the Frida fight either, and I made sure to not have any creatures die from the environment/self destruct either. I'm not sure if that actually does make a difference, but I wasn't taking a chance.

A couple things I figured out to make sure nothing killed itself was for the Bakan (those cubes that charge you), if you air dodge low enough they won't charge themselves at you, which helps getting over some of the spike pits without having them die. Those weird crawling shells in the final stage self destruct sometimes too, and the best way I made sure they didn't was instigating their jab and dodging it as I passed.

That reminds me, how do you even get the monastery key without any bakan dying. There's like a destructible bridge with plenty of bakans above and they fall into spikes while you cross.

That's a good point. I just ran through that section and let all of those Bakan just fall on the spikes, so I'd have to say the Bakan must not actually count. I wish I remembered that segment before the needless resetting on the final stage.

For pacifist run only enemies that killed directly by you count. Self-destruction or plunging uself into spikes doesn't count.

For witch that spawns before Frida fight... Just used Air dash to get over her spawn trigger, didn't touch the dogs during the fight.

And for Caster above the windmill - just kicked her with air attack once which pushed her far enough for me to activate wind magic w/o killing her AND reaching windmill at the same time.

This is correct. If enemies kill themselves on spikes, it shouldn't count towards the kill count.
The wolves at Frida fight, as of current patch, shouldn't count as kills either!

Thanks for the clarifications.

I just got this achievement, many enemies killed themselves on spikes and it still unlocked... I did not however kill the wolves on Frida.

what about flying skulls? its blowing up when I jump nearby. Is this break achive or not?

You mean when the floating skulls touch spikes? If they are dying by touching something like spikes, then it doesn't break the achievement.

I mean when I touch skull (just touch, no hit or shoot) and its explodes himself)

It shouldn't break the achievement, but... Which enemy is this? I don't remember anything exploding when it touches you like that. Which area of the game is this?
