1. After collecting the first lost soul, run back to the Boat Man and stand by the edge of the platform.
2. Perform the inventory glitch to drop into the water between the platform and the boat.
3. Dan will die, but as you see the red skull flame that appears upon his death, use the lost soul in your inventory. This will give the item to the Boat Man, putting Dan in a half-dead state, where his life is set to 0, his body is in the floating status, but you have control of it.
4. When you gain control of Dan, move to the level exit in the water, on the left of the boat.

You will start the next level with 0 life.

Speedrunners and glitch hunters are still looking for more uses for this glitch in other levels.

While Jacoghosting, you can collect items, but you will not take damage from enemies. If you stop moving while Jacoghosting, the glitch will fail and you will be unable to continue moving, forcing you to restart the level. You can use this technique to collect an extra Life Bottle before exiting the level. To be able to collect the Life Bottle, you must wait half a second longer before giving the lost soul to the boat man, or you will be too low in the ground to collect it.

The video below shows this method, along with a simpler route to collect the lost soul and reach the Boat Man.
