To achieve the True Pacifist Ending in Undertale, you don’t necessarily have to complete a Pacifist Run first, but you do need to have completed a Pacifist playthrough at some point, which can be done on the same save file without resetting. The key is to ensure that you have not completed a Genocide Run, as this will permanently taint your save file and prevent you from getting the True Pacifist Ending.

The Pacifist Ending is achieved by completing the game without killing any monsters, while the True Pacifist Ending requires additional steps, such as befriending certain characters and completing specific tasks.
