"Ulysses uses a unique non-player version of the weapon.. There are 4 different versions depending on the players level, making it the only weapons scaled to the players level, each has a 10% chance of knockdown" from the wikia.
Is the weapon you obtain at the end of the questline scaled to your level, or is it just his version?
I'm guessing (and I hope) it's just his version that's scaled, and you obtain the same weapon regardless of level.
