Let's start by doing an Inventory to see what you have in your
possession. Examine the bed and pick up both the talisman and the
sheet. Now get out of bed and prepare for the worst.

When the doll starts attacking you, the best thing to do is to
fight back. Once the doll has been beaten off, throw the sheet
over it and head for the safety of the bathroom.  Close and lock
the door to keep the doll at bay then open the cabinet and pick up
both the can of hairspray and the dental floss. Tie one end of the
floss to the lighter and the other end to the can, then light the
lighter. By now, the doll will have hacked its way through the
door and is about to home in for the kill. Spray the can at the
doll, and as the hairspray passes the lighter, it will ignite and
set the doll on fire.  When the doll runs off in agony, pick up
the pair of slippers and put them on. You can now drop the can,
lighter and floss as they have done their job.  Head north to the
bedroom, then east into the livingroom where you will find the
doll running round in circles still on fire.  Ignore it for now
and head east into the kitchen to see if there's anything there
which will help you defeat the doll.  Examine the disposal unit
and search the freezer, but don't close the freezer door just now.
Pick up the knife and head back to the livingroom, where you will
find the doll ready for round 2.

Run back into the kitchen and when the doll follows you through,
throw the knife at it. OK, so it didn't kill it, but at least it
gave you some more points. Pick up the sword and do battle with
the doll until it inadvertently lands inside the open freezer. You
can now close the freezer door and go hunting for a better weapon.

Return to the livingroom and examine all its contents, then force
open the desk drawer with the sword. Take the key and rubber band,
then unlock the cabinet with the key. Take both the bell and rod
from the cabinet, then drop the sword and key as they are no
longer needed.

Ring the bell to see what magic powers it has, and it should
reveal where Elmo your cat was hiding. Now remove your tie from
your robe and tie it to the bell, then jangle it in front of the
sofa. This should be enough to persuade the cat to appear and drop
the talisman at your feet. Pick up the talisman and head back to
the kitchen, where round 3 can begin.

Stretch the rubber band over the rod to make a slingshot, then
load the talisman into the band. You can now open the freezer
door, and when the doll crawls out, fire the slingshot straight at
it.

Great shot, now pick up the doll and drop it into the disposal
unit. You now have the satisfaction of turning the disposal unit
on and grinding the doll to dust.

Congratulations, you have finally defeated the evil curse of the
Zuni doll.
