now I'm crushed by ogre warchief boss :-\ about 10 attempts make me feel I won't win this fight

maybe there is some secret to this battle? I easily kill his minions, but then the poison comes everywhere, and my PC lags heavily on top of that... Tried to kill the boss first but it seems even harder... Tomorrow I'll try it again on minimum gfx settings, if I fail the game will be over :x

UPD
and I'll take the chance to ensure I'm on right path:
The above fight is on level 15, seems there is nothing else besides it left on this level.
Prior to level 15, I visited level 13, where you find a lot of gems. Opened a lot of places, but could not solve the demon heads puzzle - I assume gems have to be inserted but I have only 7 or so. Was unable to find anything else I could do, thus I went to level 15 in hope to find more gems there or smth else.

Do I get it right - w/o level 15 you can't complete level 13?

Aye those poison bolts do cause some gfx slowdown. Lowering the gfx setting sure will help but some strat is also welcome.
SpoilerShow
Those bolts get launched as soon as either the boss goes down or his minions are (almost) out.
A good strat for this fight is
- concentrate on and take out one of the minions, then save mid-fight
- hit the boss quite a bit to weaken him then go for the other minion
- once the bolts are flying observe their pattern; there are several spots you can walk into without being hit by them
- finally take out the boss

Level 13 can be completed without even entering level 15; all needed gems are found on 13 or beforehand.
SpoilerShow
After three full playthru's my adviced route is: complete 13 first and 15 next. Save 14 for last.
14 is not required to finish the game, so do it when you have nothing else to do .. or want to try something ;)

I have 7 round gems and 1 sapphire (non-round shape). How many more gems do I need?

The six deamon heads with one riddle each require twelve gems.

I can't recall and thus tell where each gem is but they are not inside secrets. Now the SW part of lvl 13 holds quite a few, perhaps you are missing those.

...about the arcane forge, you said a 'material' is required to work. Is it related to gems? I've tried to put a lot of things there, but they all stay unchanged...

I said "materials". The forge is not related to the gems needed on/for 13.
SpoilerShow
Yet a certain relation to some special gem can't be disputed.
As for those blocking pits: recall how you escaped lvl 6.
