load the save before entering the elevator and go back to the Mojave, gain a few levels, gather GOOD, and I mean GOOD gear and get back to the Divide when you can do the speech check or you can kill him

doing the speech check will give you better rewards in my opinion, you will be able to find and talk to Ulysses after beating the DLC that way

Cheerz! I have a save before the elevator where you kill a couple of drones i dont see how going back to that part will help me level up or gather decent weapons........ what do you reckon?

I don't think you understood me. Before you enter the room where Ulysses is, the game warns you with a pop up window that if you go in (take the elevator) you won't be able to go back to the Mojave until you finish the job with Ulysses. The game makes an autosave every time you enter a new area, so load the autosave before going in there and simply go back to the Mojave. Do some side quests, do the other DLCs if you haven't already, or simply go and kill deathclaws, cazadores... Get your speech up to 100 (or 90 and read a speech magazine before speeking to Ulysses) if you want to keep Ulysses alive, and bring the best armor and weapons you have with AP ammunition and lots of stimpacks.

If you are stuck and are willing to pass up the achievements you can use console commands by hitting the "~" key and then typing "tgm" then "ENTER". This will put you in god mode giving you unlimited health. Same to deactivate it. You will be able to earn achievements again once you exit and re-launch the game again

why do you encourage him to cheat when he can do it a legit way? but that's none of my business...

Saving Ulysses nets you little in rewards. Some rockets, Rad-X, RadAway, MREs, pre-War books, conversations, and recipes for bitter drink and snakebite tourniquet are what he gives.

What gives you good rewards is based on what you do with the nukes.

Agreed, he should do it the legitimate way. Part of playing an RPG is dealing with the repercussions of your decisions.
