The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints
Bring Troll Fat and a Daedra Heart to Atub.
1 of 5: Thankfully, neither one of these items has to be gotten from its "native habitat" -- by killing and looting trolls and Daedra, that is.
2 of 5: Both are potion ingredient items, so both can randomly appear in the shop inventory of any alchemy merchant in the game. You can travel around between the cities, checking with their alchemy merchants until you get lucky, or you can use the merchant respawn trick to avoid all the traveling.
3 of 5: You can also find troll fat and Daedra hearts lying around, free for the taking (stealing, that is), in many areas.
4 of 5: For instance, there's some troll fat on the downstairs counter in Alvor's house in Riverwood, and there's a Daedra heart on an end table at the north end of the living quarters area in Whiterun's Jorrvaskr building.
5 of 5: You can also buy Daedra hearts from Enthir in his room in the Hall of Attainment once you gain entrance to the College of Winterhold, but he'll charge you even more than alchemy merchants would.
