Is there a way to beat Undertale without killing Toriel?
The answer to this question is yes, you can beat Undertale without killing Toriel by following a pacifist route where you spare her after a series of attempts, and she will eventually allow you to leave the Ruins. By choosing to spare Toriel, you will be able to progress through the game without having to kill her, which is a key aspect of achieving a true pacifist ending in Undertale.
