Any way to reduce curse?

[Irish House Cat]

I am trying to complete a run with zero curse. I accidentally killed an enemy with the Pacifist. There's no way to reduce curse is there?

Not seen any way to reduce curse myself but I seen curse increase by 2 things.
1. items with + curse on it.
2. killing a loot alien (that one with a backpack on it). So just keep away from them when they spawn.
So just keep your damage at a minimum and if possible grap one of those aliens get extra life items and you be fine.

Nope, no way.
Have to restart that one unfortunately.

Pacifist seems the only way now.

I accidentally killed an enemy with the Pacifist.

Sir, can you explain these 100s of stab wounds on the victim?
...he fell into a bed of knives...?

Loot aliens are the green ones that drop a crate when killed. The enemies that increase curse are purple. Beware.
