Let \(\mathcal O\) be a nilpotent orbit in \(\mathfrak g^{\mathbb C}\) where \(G\) is a compact, simple group and \(\mathfrak g = \text{Lie}(G)\). It is known that \(\mathcal O\) carries a unique \(G\)-invariant hyper-Kähler metric admitting a hyper-Kähler potential compatible with the Kirillov-Kostant-Souriau symplectic form. In this work, the hyper-Kähler potential is explicitly calculated when \(\mathcal O\) is of cohomogeneity three under the action of \(G\). It is found that such a structure lies on a one-parameter family of hyper-Kähler metrics with \(G\)-invariant Kähler potentials if and only if \(\mathfrak g\) is \(\mathfrak{sp}(3)\), \(\mathfrak{su}(6)\), \(\mathfrak{so}(7)\), \(\mathfrak{so}(12)\) or \(\mathfrak e_7\), otherwise it is the unique \(G\)-invariant hyper-Kähler metric with \(G\)-invariant Kähler potential.
