You've now made it to the Lord of the Dead's throne: all you need to do to face him is ask the guards for an audience.  TALK to the guards, and they'll be surprisingly accommodating and allow Alexander to meet with the Lord of the Dead.

The Lord of the Dead will at first be a bit puzzled as to why you've come before him with your flesh still intact, and "generously" offer to let you become one with the spirits.  You didn't come her to give up, though: you came here to challenge Death and to chew bubble gum, and they don't have any bubble gum in the Realm of the Dead.  You need to issue the Lord of the Dead a formal challenge, though: just talking to him won't do it.  In fact, you need to throw down the gauntlet.  No, really: that's exactly what you need to do.  USE the gauntlet on the Lord of the Dead to challenge him [2].

The Lord of the Dead will be infuriated that a mere mortal dares challenge him, and will give you a particularly impossible challenge.  Your challenge: make him, a being who's literally seen it all, cry.  That is a tall order: the Lord of the Dead has seen all manner of suffering and pain, and never once shed a tear.  That sort of challenge would make lesser men give up.  But Alexander has a trick up his sleeve.
