The Challenge
Hey everyone, how's it going?
So, as the title of the post suggests, this is a pacifist challenge, meaning not killing any enemies in the scenario (except for the bosses, of course).
After platinum-ing the game, I found myself with not much left to do in it, so I came up with a list of challenges to extend my gameplay hours in this wonderful game. The first challenge was completed when I got the platinum, which was the infamous DON'T DIE challenge.

The second challenge is this one: DON'T KILL ANYONE. I'll explain how this challenge works so you can try it too.

The rules I created are as follows:

1-Do not kill any enemies, whatsoever (except the bosses).
2-Only one save point per map, which can be used as many times as you want. In other words, as long as you save at the chosen point, there will be no problem.
3-No bugs or glitches.
4-If you kill any enemy, just reload the save.
5-Dying is allowed.
6-You can pick up as many weapons and buffs as you want, as long as you don't kill anyone.
7-In case you're wondering, yes, you can and should use Time Stop and Slow Time.
8-Have fun
. This challenge is not that difficult, so there's no need to stress.

"But is this challenge really possible?" -- YES, and I'm living proof of that, as I recently completed it. And let me tell you, YOU CAN GET THROUGH EVERY PART WITHOUT KILLING A SINGLE ENEMY, NO EXCEPTIONS, as long as you have patience.
If you've completed the challenge, congratulations, your level should be something like this:

If you are stuck at any part, keep in mind what I said earlier, flashback ("YOU CAN GET THROUGH EVERY PART WITHOUT KILLING A SINGLE ENEMY, NO EXCEPTIONS").
But if you still can't manage, feel free to come back to this post and ask for help. I'd be happy to assist you.
In summary, that's it. Thanks for reading this post all the way through. See you around.

Yes, abusing the Knockback and invi-frames must be the only way to get through without killing any enemies, I can't think of any other way

I only just noticed this post after I did my own 100% low xp no gem run lmao. You can even finish the entirety of the Extra Level with only adding the bosses to the count (As long as you don't count those unkillable spirit things as kills, they don't die or give xp so I didn't count them). My final xp was 1550 (level 13)

My main advice for anyone that wants to do this is to abuse knockback. Turning away from enemies can allow you to get past certain enemies blocking the way
