The upside of using a separate character for the reset, is that it can be made temporary. When you're back to the other character, their inventory is still there. Most games that do this with multiple characters work this way.

Done right, the scary sections played as a secondary character should work like intermissions that don't outstay their welcome. And unlike a main character reset, you can go back and forth multiple times much more naturally.
