Pacifist run question

[jimbly bingus]

'Ello
In the Undertale pacifist route, can you attack stuff? I don't mean kill them... I mean attacking them but not giving a final blow.
I want to get the true ending btw.
Thanks, and if there's anything that's a special circumstance when it comes to battles please let me know.
Thanks
<3

Yeah, that's completely fine

[Beardo Brando]

you can attack if you want, just don't kill them and you'll be fine. by the way, why would you want to attack them in the first place if you're going through the true pacifist run?

Next question;
You know Aaron, that muscle-bound unicorn?
I know the battle wth him is a flex off, but when he "Flexes out of the room" does that count as him dying or me killing him?

Unless you have literally no other choice (like Asgore) it's best to avoid using the Attack command during boss battles for obvious reasons. The lower their HP gets, the more damage you do.

Considering you can spare most mobs with only one or two turns of ACTing, it's just as fast to spare them that way than it is to beat them up.

And no, getting him to float away counts as you sparing him.

Nah, that's how you spare him. If you don't gain EXP, they're not dead.

There's an alternate way of sparing him that'll give him his 'happy ending' during the true pacifist credits. (When the name is yellow)

If you haven't already, play Napstablook's music and get the special encounter where Aaron and Woshua are creeped out by the music and automatically leave the battle. Bam, yellow name.

How do you spare the mad dummy?

You know how the bullets launch at you? You need to get them to hit the Mad Dummy (yes that happens). Do that for a while and the battle will end eventually.

Aim their magic attacks at the Mad Dummy.
