I'm trying to get those three "things" for the phial in Skyrim but no matter which one I try to get to first there is always (ALWAYS) a really high level dragon when I get there.
And they keep on killing me. Even Brelyna's nuclear fireballs aren't helping.
It's becoming quite frustrating.
EDIT: Aaaaaaargh!

I've settled on trying to fight it in Ivarstead half way up the mountain. Again. I get my Daedric bow with my best Daedric arrows, poison those arrows, drink a true shot potion, put on the archey ring, wear the firewalker necklace to give 70% fire resistance in addition to the added resistance from my Helmet of the Unburned and up we go...
It arrives earlier than last time.
We all hit it a few times. I take a few health potions. I get in a critical shot and finally we're getting its health down but there's nowhere for it to land.

It eventually managed to find somewhere to crash down further up the mountain so up we go again...
I switch to the Ebony Blade and hack at it and then as it clings on to the last few pixels of its health bar it munches down on my head!
I've had enough of this now.
Let's have a quick play of something else before a sleepy film.
EDIT 2: OK, I had one more go.

This time it spawned later where the troll usually is (but wasn't there today) and thankfully the Ancient Dragon couldn't reach us and just flew off.

And don't come back.

So after a lot of shouting at the sky again I now have the special snow.
