It does tell you that there is more than one kind of save, general saving(both auto and manual) and saving atan inn (happens automatically) the inn saving is a checkpoint save, and if you die you can either go back to checkpoint or the first save type, however if you most recent was atan inn (unlikely) I think it counts as both in that case. Not getting the gold idol does not screw over yourgame, yes you haveless of an advantage but its still pretty easy to do, andyou can always try again in NG+.
