Not necessarily; save before making the decision of whether to "succumb" or not. Then choose to succumb, beat the Genie and save. Then; go back to the first save and choose not to succumb. Continue the game on that path, which allows you to get the Hero's proof, but the fact you defeated (or were defeated by) the Genie is retained if you remembered to save after the battle.
