Say, I'm sorry guys I have got mistaken here. It was not Valdis that I was fighting, it was that 'Dark Mage' guy.
It was a pig to do and mutch worse than Valdis IMHO.
I just kept atacking him with all I'd got and I found that you haven't to let him 'charge' any of the oblisks, otherwise he gets them all throwing those 'shock balls' and your number is quickly up!
So I attacked the oblisks just as quick as he did and he didn't get any going. In between I gave him what for and soon had him down. This sems like the way to do it guys...get the oblisks away from him as fast as you can.
Sorry about the misunderstanding here and real thanks for all your help.
