I meant to do a different playstyle but then I accidentally did the same thing as I did on my first playthrough (bleed weapon + the occasional incantation) except with hookclaws instead of starting weapon. It was still fun tho in the way that playing a game you have already played can be relaxing.

I had decided to go for the Goldmask ending since I was going to do incantations #faith (but then I didn't have any incantations to use so I got used to hookclawing) but that cutscene was Extraordinarily lame I hope that is not a spoiler.
