It's very easy to start 0 HP glitch at the poisonous lake in the Realm of the Snake God. Just touch the river and quickly escape the room.
Being at 0 HP allows you to cross the entire river with no side effects. Unfortunately, both of the doors on the other side are blocked at this point, so no sequence breaking is possible to do here.
Following the river upstream makes Mathayus fall out of bounds.
0:55 - bonus clip: I tried to cause some type of a bug by falling into a chasm as I beat The Sphinx. All this did was cause a minor Mathayus displacement and camera oddity glitch during the first few seconds of the cutscene, but it then fixed itself.
(Not on the vid: I also tried to do this at low health so that I would get a game over instead of simply respawning. However, the boss gives you a max health up and returns you to full vitality shortly after it dies, so I don't think this variation is possible to test.)
