Hi!

1. Create the low poly geometry.

2. Bake details from high poly to low poly by creating a normal/bump or displacement map if needed.

Hi!

"Am i supposed to make totaly new poly object?"

Yes, but you can try Mesh -> Reduce.

I don't know how many polygons you need, but everything starting from about 10 faces (or more) is doable.
